The hypocrisy of liberal state attorneys general in their pursuit of climate change “deniers” and, specifically, ExxonMobil, is on stark display in their bitter response to subpoenas served by the House Science Committee.
New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman said through his spokesman that he won’t be intimidated by the committee’s subpoena to appear and explain the AGs’ cause. But we are to presume that intimidation wasn’t intended — of course not! — when the AGs subpoenaed ExxonMobil and various climate change skeptics.
The crusading AGs had to wipe the egg off their faces when one of their own, Virgin Islands Attorney General Claude E. Walker, withdrew his subpoenas, naming more than 100 scientists, universities and free-market institutes, when some of those targeted actually pushed back, The Washington Times reports.
Still, Ken Kimmell, president of the Union of Concerned Scientists, insists that the House committee’s subpoenas are “harassment” and an “abuse of power.” We suppose “abuse” depends on who’s issuing the subpoenas.
And while the same AGs suggest racketeering by those who dare to question the “settled science” of climate change, they, themselves, colluded with environmentalists, who briefed them on prosecuting the “deniers,” The Times reports.
Free speech on climate science is not the malicious “fraud” that the AGs make it out to be. They should exercise their own First Amendment right, preferably before the House Science Committee.

We have all seen the corrupt double standards of the Democrat Liberal administrations used to enforce and meet their own dictated, demented agendas.
Remember this when your little daughter comes home crying, because she was taking a shower or undressing and a boy was allowed to come into the room.
Approved and Mandated by the perverted tinkerbell Obama.
Well, have to conserve water, don’t you know. These are after all, the same people who are so “scientific” that they don’t realise that water recycles itself They apparently think that once used, water vanishes into some black hole.
– But only apparently. They do know it’s a lie. They knew they were lying in the 70s when they were telling us the only way to prevent a new “ice age” was global socialism. They knew it in the 90s when they warned us the only way to prevent “global warming” was global socialism, and they know it now – while telling us the only way to prevent “climate-change” is global socialism.
Personally, I’d like to know what’s so bad about climate change, because I plan to corner the market on those little paper umbrellas they put in tropical drinks, and make a real killing on it in the future…
And once again the left proves how corrupt and dangerous they are..
I still stand on my challenge to the GW experts and will change my mind on this issue when I see the first white polar bear in my backyard..
Thank you.
It should perhaps be noted that the newly formed government of British PM May has suspended their climate change agenda. I guess that proves they’re smarter than we are. Perhaps they’ve been informed that the sun’s output has increased 10%, and that nothing we mortals do is going to make any appreciable difference.
In the middle ages, it was “settled science” that the earth was flat, and that all celestial bodies revolved around the earth. The charlatans that use the term “settled science” know NOTHING about science. There is no such thing as “settled science”. With each new discovery or advancement in scientific knowledge, vast quantities of what would have been considered “settled science”, gets thrown out like yesterdays garbage. These charlatans want 2 things, your money and your freedom.
