A United Nation’s report issued last month calls for the criminalization of spreading “disinformation and misinformation” about global warming. Is it the desperate act of a dying crusade – or business as usual for the climate fanatics?
While our hope is the former, it’s more likely the latter.
According to Elisa Morgera, the U.N. special rapporteur on climate change, governments should “criminalize misinformation and misrepresentation (greenwashing) by the fossil fuel industry” as well as “criminalize media and advertising firms for amplifying disinformation and misinformation by fossil fuel companies.”

Considering the folks promoting the Green New Scam are the ones spreading mis and dis information, I'm all for the criminalization. However, their version is anyone contesting their views is guilty of spreading dis and mis information.
Why don't we just keep the discussion open on the marketplace of ideas, and objectively exam the claims of both sides using ACTUAL science (not flawed models) to decide which side is correct?

No matter the issue when the folks with power and money at stake want to shut down the opposition you know they can’t factually support their issue. One of the reasons American has been great is the right to free expression of contrarian viewpoints.

Climate Change is real but we puny humans have nothing to do with it.It is cosmic. Geological records show the Earth undergoes a global catastrophe every 6000 years. We are due. Besides, The ocean salinity and currents are changing which would cause an ice age, not continued warming

"demanding that skeptics be arrested and tried"
This is the classic signs of Authoritarian governments that cannot justify their ideas and therefore cannot create laws that accomplish what they want to do. It can cover everything the government wants to control.
It is also a clear indication that the Authoritarians are losing the battle. In the case of Global Warming, they have had decades to push their ideas and they become weaker every year. Consider that most people WANT a clean environment. 50 years ago, many cities were covered in smog, water was polluted, and we had toxic waste areas. While we still have some work to do, much of those problems have been addressed. Why did that work get done? Because there were real, provable problems. Anyone could see them. But now, not so much.
That creates a problem for Authoritarians who need reasons for them to still be in control. It also creates a window for people who are enemies of this Country to enforce regulations that can impact the economic vitality of the Country.
So if the obvious problems have been cleaned up (Great job America!), the bosses and enemies of America need new reasons to retain control. However, those reasons are elusive and uncertain. They tried to ride the coattails of the Clean Environment movement but people have become highly skeptical of that connection. Selling CO2, an ESSENTIAL gas, as a pollutant is becoming a Hill to Far. The "science" they are using, dubious computer models that over decades never seem to be right, keep reducing the scope of the warnings to the point where people are asking, "Even IF these models are finally correct, do we really need to panic over a degree or so increase in temperature?". Many of the danger signs that Alarmists warn about are simply wrong. Polar bears are doing just fine, thank you.
So as these hysterical people DEMAND action over ever more doubtful "science", including that we STOP discussing the fact that the science IS DOUBTFUL, their rational becomes clear. They want CONTROL! For some because they are irrationally scared. They are to be pitied but not followed. For others, because of ill intent. They must be exposed and expelled at all costs. The way to do that is to KEEP discussing and examining all aspects of the environment with an open mind, NOT by criminalizing honest discussion and doubts.

Burning oil and gas to keep us warm in the winter, cool in the summer ,and facilitate quicker travel will not destroy the climate. There will be no man caused climate apocalypse. Any warming that is caused by man is actually a blessing.

The UN is run by the world's most evil and anti-freedom countries.
Of course they don't believe in free speech and want to use false climate hysteria to control people.

Fore some reason I don’t believe she’s is talking about about all of those experts that claimed, over the last 50 years, that we were all going to die in 10 years time.

MTG just introduced a bill to stop governments and others from changing the weather with chemicals spraying into the atmosphere. Is this what the UN is speaking about?

Climate scientists are evidence that one can be a dishonest educated fool. They are educated, they lie, and the know better yet persist with their narrative. Their MO is always the same: Take a disaster with loss of life, claim climate change was the cause, its Trump's fault, and his supporters got what they deserved. it's a broken record. All they are doing is spouting propaganda to push an agenda. They are all about control. It has nothing to do with the climate with these people.

#1: The reason we don't do what you suggest is because the whole thing is a fraud intended to take people's money, restrict their movements, and control every area of people's lives.

The UN is very evil, has been for most of it's existence. Stop sending any money to UN. We must retain our seat on the Security Council to ensure that we can veto any evil that these third world dictators try to visit upon the USA. But NO MORE MONEY from the USA.

The problem for the climate hysterics is that they demand you ignore that you are a creature of nature, living in it every day. We know we exhale CO2 as a natural process, and that we have a symbiotic relationship with plant life. We know that plants need not only CO2 to live, but sunshine and water, something the climate hysterics are determined to destroy. We know it gets hot in the summer, and cold in the winter and that because we are a geologically-alive planet, there are swings in temperature and weather events, sometimes dramatic ones. We can see for ourselves that there is a cycle to all living things, as researchers are constantly surprised by something that counters their “settled science.” In fact, we know that there is no such thing as “settled science,” and that the very nature of real science is new discovery. There is no traction on this issue because we live it. Everyday.

I am asking a revised question: have we reached late-stage hysteria? Yes, I left the climate word out. Seeing how people are reacting to the Texas flood and the Epstein client list and whatever, it just seems like people have become hysterical. And not in a laughing way. Civilized seems like a foreign word anymore. . .
Concerning climate - don't you think God has taken care of it all?
