Freedom of Inquiry?
Some people believe that those who disagree with them should not be allowed to question their beliefs. (Of course people are allowed to question me, and I may answer or not answer as I see fit.)
Usually its blamed on a religious inquisition and today it is. The wannabe inquisitors are Green.
When we've finally gotten serious about global warming, when the impacts are really hitting us and we're in a full worldwide scramble to minimize the damage, we should have war crimes trials for these bastards -- some sort of climate Nuremberg.
That's right, let's put people on trial for asking questions and entertaining doubts.
What this really amounts to is criminalizing beliefs. I personally am convinced that what global warming is happening is 99.9% natural (solar cycles etc.) and man's contibution is insignificant. (I wrote a posting last May about how warming is all through the Solar System, including places where man could not possibly be responsible.) I firmly believe that global warming is a bogus issue created to empower certain political groups so they gain control over other peoples' property, using it as a cover to create Socialism. Many people on the street honestly believe it, but the upper echelon perpetrators don't.
Let's see. We have freedom of speech and the press but we are not supposed to question the legitimacy of Mohammed because that offends Muslims. We are not supposed to question Global Warming or we will face the Green Inquistion. I say it is time we get offensive and not care about the Green Inquisition (if it ever comes about.)

As long as we don't question the policies of the Decider, because then we are a lefty loon appeaser.

No one is seeking to punish you or criminalize what you think. I certainly am not going to haul you off to court or let anyone else either. That is what these people want to do to those who question them. Saying someone is wrong is one thing, calling it criminal is another.
