FEMA to deny funds to global warming skeptic governors

‘…We are getting into Galileo territory, punishing dissent from a flawed orthodoxy.  So far, nobody has advocated execution, but that can’t be far off.’

    Update: Silly me. My memory is not as good as that of Rudy de Haas. As Timothy Birdnow wrote on AT in 21012:

    Professor Richard Parncutt, Musicologist at Graz University in Austria.

    Parncutt has issued — and later retracted after it the public outcry — a manifesto calling for the execution of prominent “Climate Change Deniers”. What is interesting is that Parncutt hates the death penalty and supports Amnesty International’s efforts to end it.

    DESPERATION BY THE LEFT :!: :shock:

    They have lost the Global Warming argument, so they want to burn the opposition at the stake… :evil:

      There is a legal solution to this Ronbo that has not been tried.
      AGW is a belief system, and one that fits one definition of a religion: a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance.

      There are two provisions in our constitution that prohibit this form of enforced compliance with beliefs.

      The first phrase of Amendment 1 is most commonly known. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

      The mostly forgotten one is found in Article VI, paragraph 3
      “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”

      FEMA would not be able to exploit the words of selected scientists to enforce this if govt agencies had not first violated the rights of a slew of earth scientists who disagreed and were denied positions because of it.

      Each earth scientist subjected to such religious tests — say for a job at NASA, or by extension, at a federally funded research university — should have standing in court.

      Had this been pursued, logically and legally AGW would have fallen long ago — provided the court system was not too stacked Left already.

      Today, Ronbo, it may be to late for anything but your prepared solution. But this could have been prevented if there were still any decent lawyers left in this country.

        Have been saying that for years,in fact about a week after the first carbon credit scheme was announced I said it sounded like the sale of holy indulgences per RCC as pointed out by Martin Luther(hammer and nail,not march and rant).
        Infact I went so far as to say the theory of evolution as it’s currently being taught as fact should also be banned on the basis of separation of church and state.The premise being the idea in which everything just magically appeared from nothing is no more scientific than the tooth fairy and therefore a belief.

        • Pascal says:

          While I’ve long agreed with what you’ve said, it’s different from the distinction I’m making.

          The fight over creation versus Darwin has been framed on the Prog’s battle plan.

          The fight over having to pass a religious test has not been fought.

          There is no way that that alleged consensus on AGW could stand up to the scientific method if scientists were not threatened to accept it no matter how much evidence they provide proving there is no significant human correlation affecting overall climate. (BTW, this is much like the EU courts preventing the reading of the Koran to prove that Islam is a conquering ideology masquerading as a religion. Not being permitted to enter facts into evidence is the unjust tactic being enforced by both ideologies.)

          Accept this belief or hit the road is a religious test and, thus, a violation of the rights of the scientist, engineer or technician so threatened.
