Climate Depot reports that another prominent green, Robert F. Kennedy Junior, has called for climate “deniers” to be jailed. Is it just me, or is there something very wrong with a political landscape in which people find it acceptable to demand their opponents be jailed for disagreeing with them? Watch the video.
RFK Jr wants to jail energy CEO’s for “Treason” Laments no current laws to punish climate skeptics:

RFK jr. is a recovering heroin addict, an inbred grifter on his grand father’s money, a parasite profiting off of his father’s tragic murder, and a democrat party elite, not to be redundant.
Peter don’t include me and mine in your climate fantasy….we don’t like or need your concern.
Just a step away from sending dissidents to re-education camps … or hospitalizing them for mental illness.
Perhaps, Mr. Kennedy, you will donate all your inherited wealth to support climate change alarm, and stop flying about in private planes. That would reduce your carbon footprint to closer to that of most everyone else. Don’t just talk the talk dude, walk the walk. Get back to us when your millions are disposed of and you have to worry about energy costs like most people on Earth do.
Id prefer for the warmists to be shut up for a brief while to remove their propaganda from the airwaves and give us all a stress free break having to keep fighting their time n life wasting idiocy
just a TOTAL ban for 6mths on claims of doom n gloom using the C word.
The rants of a heroin-addled left-wing Kennedy should be taken for what they are: a desperate cry for attention.
RFK Jr’s rant described is a peek into mind of Progressive insanity. There is a reason drug and alcohol-fueled deaths, suicides, and serial adultery follow this family.
I’m don’t think anyone has noted this yet, but it bears mentioning. RFK Jr. is a noted anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist who wrote an infamous article published in Rolling Stone in 2005 expounding upon his nutty theories.
Salon, I thing (maybe both). Salon had to issue numerous corrections and withdrew it completely in 2011. RFK Jr. has the original posted somewhere (so I’ve read).
I thing? I think…
(I Robot, I Thing.)
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.[
Executive order.
That is a presidential order to the members of the executive branch; not a law.
Don’t be pedantic, please. You know what I mean.
My interpretation is that he has been marinated in climate porn and he trusts them and their cartoonish demonization of contrarians. He’s far from alone in this–many of his fellow marchers have been similarly marinated. It’s inconceivable to them that their side could be as badly wrong on this issue as it is. So they think the worst of us.
Even if the bottom falls out of their bandwagon and the climate cools, they won’t repent. They’ll say that the world needs clean renewable sustainable power, and the sooner the better.
the world needs AFFORDABLE, RELIABLE, ON-DEMAND, clean renewable sustainable power
I see nothing wrong with the above statement. I expect most of us would agree. I would be very happy to have a compact, low cost fusion generator that ran on tap water and produced all the energy I required, with helium as the only waste product. I would very much prefer this to having to fill my car with gasoline.
The problem comes when people say that in order to achieve this, we must FIRST do away with all forms of energy that are less than perfect. That we should ignore affordable, reliable and on-demand as important aspects of energy production.
That somehow, by demanding a perfect soultion, and rejecting any solution that has side effects, this will somehow ensure perfection. One might consider Cancer Treatment as a similar problem. The medicine to treat cancer has terrible side effects. Should we stop giving the medicine, and thereby force people to come up with a treatment that has no side effects?
People may argue that fossil fuel is not cancer treatment, but consider how many people would quickly die if we suddenly stopped the flow of coal, oil and gas. Billions would not survive more than a few months.
Voiltaie wrote that “Perfect is the Enemy of Good.” Perfection can never be optained, except at infinite price. In seeking perfection we end up throwing out all the good solutions that are available, the ones that we can afford, and end up with no solution. In seeking to prevent all harm, we end up doing great harm.
Jail climate deniers? LOL. If only.
Try “kill climate deniers”

@Peter Grace: I fear you are a wind-up artist getting some kicks from blogging here, but I’ll see if there’s anything of substance in you. I asked, up thread, “Wherefore the threat? Whereof the warming?” and you, in response to Hunter say:
So, I say again, in your words if it helps, what ‘miserable circumstances’ and since when has a minor change in temp put you and yours at the risk of ‘dying’? I mean, I don’t know what latitude you live on but I guess that you are quite capable of surviving sunnier climes without the risk of death – or don’t you let your family take vacations in the sun?
RFK Jr wants to jail energy CEO’s for “Treason”
============
By that same logic, why not jail all people that have large carbon footprints? Why limit yourself to energy CEO’s? Surely there are many people in the US with huge carbon footprints. Why not put them all in jail?
Surely it must be a worse crime to actually emit the CO2, than it is to provide energy. The energy CEO’s they are like gun manufacturers. The people with large carbon footprints, aren’t they the ones that are actually pulling the trigger? Harming the rest of us.
So, by the logic of RFK Jr, shouldn’t we be calling for jail time for all peoples with large carbon footprints? Not just the people that manufacture the guns, but also the people that are pulling the trigger?
Aren’t Dxniers simply people saying that guns themselves are harmless, that we should be allowed to have guns for protection? Aren’t the real criminals the people tat are pulling the trigger on the innocent? The people with the large carbon footprints?
Excellent bit of logic. I plan to steal this idea, and use it in some discussion, to see how it flies.
Not that I actually believe that anyone should be jailed for emitting CO2. However it is always fun to use another’s argument against them.
Good god, this is horrible. I’m surprised that a son of a world-renowned American politician could ever drift so far from American traditions. The 1st Amendment means nothing to him, obviously. More frightening is that a large piece of a Progressives and climate alarmists who agree with him. We need serious changes in our public education system.
Democrats crave a dictator ship. Control over every aspect of our lives.
If the 1st Amendment is ill-regarded by this punk, be sure he’ll not fare well when he runs up against the 2nd.
This coming from a man whose family’s environmental impact is greater than 1000 middles class family’s combined!
Good term; watermelons, reminds me of a song…
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right?
All right, all right
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We’re all doing what we can
But if you want money
For people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right?
All right, all right
You say you’ll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right?
All right, all right!
Mr. Kennedy, can we please review your investment portfolio for treasonous investments?
Can anyone smell the hypocrite in the air……
I actually thought his dad was quite smart, although I disagreed with his political leanings.
But this guy is a real piece of work.
I watched the less than reverend Moon tell a room full of dead beats that climate change was the defining issue of our time.
I wonder how much extra plant food has been added to the atmosphere as a result of this united nothing séance in New York.
I’m sorry, I likely won’t be around, to witness a future new world without Kennedys, Clintons, and Kerrys.
What did we do to deserve these plagues ??
Lenin and Stalin had similar views of people with whom they disagreed.
Here’s my idea – lets just start calling them “Climate Change Hoax Deniers” – this way we can return all the civility and rational reactions right back at them.
good.
we should get him to say it more often.
Yep that’s how lefty rolls, has rolled, snd will always roll. When they run on feelings and not facts all opposition needs to go jail. Why? Because evey fact is a crack in the eiifice of their made up world. Shrill vitriolic nonsense.
Typical.
Actually the more I think about it when one considers the policy especially to the third world and desperate poverty a-holes like him and others inflict, maybe alarmists should be heading to the Hole.
I sometimes think that, while bad ideas and actions are not exclusive to the group, Progressives tend to latch onto “high concept” ideas more readily than your typical conservative. This makes them particularly vulnerable to simple-sounding propositions and forceful, drastic over-reaction.
Eugenics would be a good example in support of the proposition, and since we are talking about simple science, simple souls, and simple remedies, I see no need to offer arguments against.
Instead, I will offer a proposition thus:
1. Fundamentalists …of any kind… always get it wrong.
2. There are no exceptions to (1).
3. If you think you are the exception, see (2) above.
I would be interested in any examples that disprove.
Define Fundamentalists
Words, unlike numbers, do not have fixed values.
I make this point because, as a young man, I was often instructed to master the fundamentals . This is good advice. I learned the fundamentals of basketball – like throwing, catching, and dribbling the ball – before I started to develop more advanced plays like the deadly cross-over dribble, jump stop, head ‘n’ shoulder fake, and the fall-away J.
No high 5s needed.
I suppose it would be those who prefer ideology to reason.
I believe in these principles very strongly, to the point where I’m afraid that all that may apply to me, too.
Mathematicians?
There definitely has been some deterioration in Kennedy gene pool. Probably JFK was all they had.
