Lawrence Torcello, a philosophy professor with a Ph.D. from the University at Buffalo, published the comments as part of an essay submitted to the academic website The Conversation.
Torcello argues that malignant individuals, who he does not identify, are collectively organising a “campaign funding misinformation” about climate change. Torcello goes on to suggest that such activity “ought to be considered criminally negligent.”
Torcello also addresses the fact that his demands clearly run in opposition to protected free speech under the First Amendment, and as part of other nations’ laws, calling for legal systems to be “updated” by governments, reports Infowars.
“We must make the critical distinction between the protected voicing of one’s unpopular beliefs, and the funding of a strategically organised campaign to undermine the public’s ability to develop and voice informed opinions,” he writes.
Sieg heil mein fuhrer.
ReplyDeleteI think people who want to bankrupt us with more taxes going to the false god of climate change should be ostracized by all of society.
ReplyDeleteWhy he is a self selected philosopher king! He knows what is best for us, and he will give it to us good and hard whether we like it or not.
ReplyDelete“We must make the critical distinction between the protected voicing of one’s unpopular beliefs, and the funding of a strategically organised campaign to undermine the public’s ability to develop and voice informed opinions,” he writes."
ReplyDeleteAnd the best way to do this is to jail anyone who disagrees with the elite, because the only ones that develop and voice "informed opinions" are those who agree with this modern day inquisitionist.
Retarded scumbag.
And obviously that website is hardly 'academic'. Sounds more like Pravda to me.

ReplyDeleteWell, the man is completely irony-impaired. Hasn't he witnessed a plethora of misinformation and hysterical reporting about the effects of "climate change" (a.k.a. anthropogenic global warming) which tend to trivialize the issue to the point of mockery? Shouldn't this person focus more on the hysterical doomsayers rather than the skeptics?
Sounds like Torcello himself is organizing a campaign of sorts to undermine others' ability to develop and voice informed opinions. Perhaps the difference is that he's not *funding* it yet. A "critical distinction" indeed. Consider further, what exactly is NOT "criminally negligent" about suppressing debate, peer review, and the whole Scientific Method when it comes to the issue of climate change?
ReplyDeleteHow about Holodomar deniers? Let us make them eat dirt on some collective farm so they can have a taste of their own shit.

ReplyDelete.
And JT KNOWS that malignant individuals, who he CAN identify, are collectively organising a “campaign funding misinformation” about climate change. JT goes on to suggest that such activity “ought to be considered criminally negligent when wishing to steal taxpayer money but extremely hilarious otherwise."

lol
He has a degree in philosophy! WTF does he know about climate science? How many Nobel Prize winners does he want to throw in jail in support of his unsubstantiated and probably horribly uninformed views. Is he aware that British court ruled that Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" was unfit to be used in science classes in British schools without numerous errors that had to be corrected for the students before it could be shown?
ReplyDelete"Professor Calls For Climate Change ‘Deniers’ To Be Imprisoned". A few months ago, Justice Antonin Scalia stated that World War II-style internment camps could happen again. Let's not kid ourselves about where this country's heading.
ReplyDeleteThe criminals that should be incarcerated are the climate alarmists that continue to lobby for a massive transfer of wealth based in spite of the fact there is no data supporting AGW. It's a scam they are trying to perpetrate on the people of the United States. These folks need join Bernie Madoff.
