Al Gore, Eric Schneiderman “We are pursuing the fossil fuel companies as if they have committed fraud”

 

(From Craig Rucker at Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow.)

The First Amendment has left the building.

Yesterday Al Gore gathered with a group of attorneys general and judges hosted by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to announce a legal investigation of fossil fuel companies over global warming.

We posted a report by Chris White at CFACT.org:

“We know because of what is already out there, there are companies using the best climate models, they know how much the sea levels are rising,” Schneiderman said. “They know all these things. Yet they have told the public that there are no effective climate models to determine the sea levels.”

The First Amendment does not protect Exxon’s actions, Schneiderman said.

“The First Amendment does not give you the right to commit fraud. We are pursuing the fossil fuel companies as if they have committed fraud.”

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey upped the ante saying: ‘“There is nothing we need to worry about more than climate change. Nothing is more important, not drug abuse, not crimes against property. Nothing.”

Using our legal system to prosecute (persecute?) those with whom we disagree is modern day witch hunting at its worst.

For shame.

On May 2nd CFACT’s new film Climate Hustle will be seen in U.S. theaters coast to coast during a one-night special event.  It does a thorough job of detailing and unmasking the misleading tricks the climate change industry uses to advance its narrative.

Any eager beavers in government looking for leads for a fraud investigation should be sure to attend.

Gore and Company had best be careful what they wish for.  If government starts investigating false statements made by climate campaigners, they’re not going to like it.

Not one bit.
