Global Warming Alarmist Want To Imprison Deniers
A global warming alarmist wants to have “deniers” imprisoned. Lawrence Tortello isn’t even a climate scientist, he’s an assistant professor of philosophy at the Rochester Institute of Technology. But he thinks he’s an expert not only in climate but also the law.
We have good reason to consider the funding of climate denial to be criminally and morally negligent. The charge of criminal and moral negligence ought to extend to all activities of the climate deniers who receive funding as part of a sustained campaign to undermine the public’s understanding of scientific consensus.
Criminal negligence is normally understood to result from failures to avoid reasonably foreseeable harms, or the threat of harms to public safety, consequent of certain activities. Those funding climate denial campaigns can reasonably predict the public’s diminished ability to respond to climate change as a result of their behaviour. Indeed, public uncertainty regarding climate science, and the resulting failure to respond to climate change, is the intentional aim of politically and financially motivated denialists.
My argument probably raises an understandable, if misguided, concern regarding free speech. We must make the critical distinction between the protected voicing of one’s unpopular beliefs, and the funding of a strategically organised campaign to undermine the public’s ability to develop and voice informed opinions. Protecting the latter as a form of free speech stretches the definition of free speech to a degree that undermines the very concept.
The title of Tortello’s post – “Is misinformation about the climate criminally negligent?” Of course he doesn’t advocate jailing anyone associated with “ClimateGate.” He doesn’t stop to think that perhaps Al Gore, who has made billions peddling this snake oil, might be spreading misinformation.
Perhaps Tortello should spend more time worrying about people who have been duped into not vaccinating their children. Who knows, maybe these alarmists are all for outbreaks of things like measles and whooping cough so they can blame it on global warming. And if you you disagree, well, you should be behind bars.
