Well to put this thread back on topic:
Climate change is a political issue.
An issue the state with it's current administration wholey supports.
Now I don't think political dissidents should be locked up, and the current potus should tell those scientists to get lost.
Ixnay on the eligonray.
I don't think it takes free speech but rather common sense to say we have x number of years of reliable temperature data.

This is kind of like "scientist" requesting prosecution of religions who disagree with Evolution? What is the difference?
No scientist would ever do that, for one thing. Climate change is a public health and safety issue, for another.

If corporations in the fossil fuel industry and their supporters are guilty of the misdeeds that have been documented in books and journal articles, it is imperative that these misdeeds be stopped as soon as possible so that America and the world can get on with the critically important business of finding effective ways to restabilize the Earth’s climate, before even more lasting damage is done.
In that case, you must support the investigation; it's the first step. The situation parallels that of the cigarette industry: a civil lawsuit won't accomplish anything, it needs to be handled as a crime and crimes need to be investigated.
In other words when deal with 16% you have a better case than the an dealing with much less than 1%, doubt 16% would even be accepted as settled in any other science either but we're at least dealing with one whole percent and in double digitals.
You must have not seen the articles relating Christianity as "child abuse" or "psychological abuse".

Do you think that the overwhelming number of people in the sciences have no common sense?
Let's put it this way - things are happening now that are verifiable. Forget about the past - no matter what the cause - we have to find a way to make a future. If you don't believe this is being caused by humans - it doesn't actually matter - does it?
The climate is changing. Food, water - all the things life on this planet depends on is going to change. Entire ecosystems are in the process of collapsing
You can have your opinion. If clinging to the idea that we don't really know what happened in the past comforts you - I guess you'll have to go with that. That's your nature
Not everyone reacts to the same information in the same way

The problem is, we have a pretty good idea of climate cycles reaching back 100,000 years or so, which allows us to extrapolate backwards. Of course, that's not necessary. All you have to do is take temperatures all around the globe and average them out. We can do that reliably, without proxies, going back about 200 years, then get fairly good data for Europe going back another century or so. The trend is consistently upwards.
There are a lot of factors influencing global climate, including the greenhouse effect. We cannot control the Sun's output, the Earth's orbit, etc, but we can control the amount of greenhouse gases we put into the atmosphere. Big Oil and Big Coal have spent a lot of money trying to sow confusion about this. RICO is an appropriate response.
Talk about self importance. 'Hey everyone, His opinion 'means' more than mine!!!!!!
“We stand united, that is of the upmost importance, and ready to conclude an ambitious robust, binding global climate deal, and we will settle for nothing less.”

a reply to: neo96wow they seem not so sure of their so called science if they want to start locking up people with a different view . next they will want to round up others then they will determine only solution will be to cull the herd. these types of so called scientists are just afraid if someone proves them wrong there gov check will disappear faster than melting ice packs!

Kind of can of worms. If the Totalitarians can prosecute us for dissenting from their fraud environmentalist extremist friends they can throw us in reeducation camps for anything we happen to disagree with.
My my the apple doesn't fall far from the tree these Leninist Stalinist Marxists going to do what the old Soviet Union did and we knew it. I'm absolutely amazed by the totalitarians all around....
That other thread ties in to that with government 'new' fangled behavior engineering.
Because those 'scientist's don't take in to account the worlds population of 7 billion people that breathes exhaling co2, and other bodily emissions.
