Climate Change Scepticism Could Soon Be a Criminal Offence

I mentioned this on GREENIE WATCH recently but I think it clearly has a place here too:
"People who are sceptical of climate change could soon be facing criminal charges in the European Court of Justice, British National Party leader and MEP Nick Griffin MEP has said.

Speaking in an exclusive Radio Red, White and Blue interview on this week’s “Eurofile” report, Mr Griffin told interviewer John Walker about a recent sitting of the European Parliament’s subcommittee dealing with the matter, which had passed a ruling which in effect placed legal sanction against anyone who dared question the origin, cause or effect of “climate change.”

Mr Griffin revealed how he could not get a straight answer out of the committee while it was in session, but that afterwards it was admitted to him that that intention of the rule was to criminalise dissension on the topic of “climate change.”

"The world is flat and anyone who says it's not is a criminal." This would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous!

The EU is just doing what the Vatican has done for ages. Just ask Galileo Galilei.

I would be somewhat sceptical of anything Mr Griffin reports about the EU Parliament as his party's policy is to undermine the EU and take the UK out of it.

So you are admitting that "climate change" is a religion which is based solely on faith instead of science?

this kind of thing (which is rampant in the EU) is the reason he wants to take the UK out.

He doesn't have to invent such things, the Brussels bureaucrats are much better at it.

Ahhhh, NO. Just saying that the PEOPLE IN CHARGE think that they know better than the scientists. The Vatican was in charge during Galileo's time and the EU is in charge now. I am NOT saying ANYTHING about global warming / climate change. I am making a GENERAL statement. I hate it when you guys extrapolate a statement into something else. Jeeezzz.

It doesn't take a scientist to know that climate change is real. In fact, living here in the north eastern U.S., our climate changes about four times a year. (winter, sping, summer, fall) Changing that would require a meeting with Mother Nature, not a bunch of incompetent, lying, corrupt political hacks. Why this topic has become so controversial is because the Left has decided to manipulate the facts simply to further their political agenda.

Does that agenda have anything to do with the climate? No. The climate is being used simply to achieve their main goal, which is to CONTROL every single aspect of everyone's life, from what we eat, to what we drive, to how we cool our homes. That agenda also serves another purpose, which is as a frontal assault on one of the Left's main enemies, big business, and in this case, the oil industry.

In fact, if you study the massive changes being introduced and implemented by the Marxist now occupying the White House, you will notice they all have one thing in common. CONTROL. The problem with most people is that they allow so-called "experts" to override their common sense. If someone walked up to you on the street and said, "i can change the weather, and all you'll have to do is give me complete control of your life", what would you say?

If you're a sane, rational person, you would laugh and consider that person to be quite nuts. So why do you allow political hacks to say the very same thing, and believe them?

And you know full well that what the environmental loons call "climate change" isn't, it's just a new pseudonym for "global warming", and more specifically anthropogenic global warming which is a religion and a massive hoax.
It's in fact a religion just as dangerous as Islam, if not more so.

Please explain. I am curious how a delusional mind works.

Apparently, the Brits have way too many "scientists" and far too few smart people.

4:00 PM - how did you come to that conclusion? - I thought this was about the EU in general.

Examine your own mind, it's a prime example.

If this is true I would see it as proof that manmade climate change is complete bunk. If it is necessary to criminalise any criticism, then the argument (because by definition there will be no argument) is lost.
