As the scientific case for a climate-change catastrophe wanes,
proponents of big-ticket climate policies are increasingly focused on
punishing dissent from an asserted “consensus” view that the only way to
address global warming is to restructure society—how it harnesses and
uses energy. That we might muddle through a couple degrees’ of global
warming over decades or even centuries, without any major disruption, is
the new heresy and must be suppressed.</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">

critics of his “hockey stick” research—a holy text to climate alarmists</b>. [STEYN? NRO?] The suggestion that Prof. Mann’s famous diagram showing rapid recent
warming was an artifact of his statistical methods, rather than an
accurate representation of historical reality, was too much for the Penn
State climatologist and his acolytes to bear.</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">

to put it, along with <b>National Review magazine, out of business. </b>Four
years on, the courts are still pondering the First Amendment values at
stake. In the meantime, the lawsuit has had its intended effect,
fostering legal uncertainty that chills speech challenging the
“consensus” view.</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">
Mr. Mann’s lawsuit divided climate scientists—many of whom recognized
that it threatened vital scientific debate—but the climate Inquisition
was<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> only getting started. The past year has witnessed even more

defending First Amendment rights in these circumstances requires the

wonders why NOAA’s scientists were “astonished” or consider the uptick
“staggering” and “astronomical” when the 2015/16 El Niño has been

takes a quick comparison to show that there were comparable responses in
global surface temperatures to both strong El Niños. What many readers
are likely finding “astonishing” and “staggering” is that NOAA’s

respond as they have, given that there was a similar uptick in global

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Yes, but who needs free speech when we’ve got Science? </font>
<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Most recently, their target is the Climate change bureaucracy (March 23, 2016):</font></p>
<blockquote><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Assuming the mantle of Grand Inquisitor is Sen. Sheldon
Whitehouse (D., R.I.). Last spring he called on the Justice Department
to bring charges against those behind a “coordinated strategy” to spread
heterodox views on global warming, including the energy industry, trade
associations, “conservative policy institutes” and scientists. Mr.
Whitehouse, a former prosecutor, identified as a legal basis for charges
that the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO,
the federal statute enacted to take down mafia organizations and drug
cartels. […]</font></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Intimidation is the point of these efforts. Individual
scientists, think tanks and private businesses are no match for the vast
powers that government officials determined to stifle dissent are able
to wield. An onslaught of investigations—with the risk of lawsuits,
prosecution and punishment—is more than most can afford to bear. As a
practical reality, defending First Amendment rights in these
circumstances requires the resources to take on the government and
win—no matter the cost or how long it takes.</font></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">It also requires taking on the Climate Inquisition
directly. Spurious government investigations, driven by the desire to
suppress a particular viewpoint, constitute illegal retaliation against
protected speech and, as such, can be checked by the courts, with money
damages potentially available against the federal and state
perpetrators. If anyone is going to be intimidated, it should be
officials who are willing to abuse their powers to target speech with
which they disagree.</font></p></blockquote>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">As every true scientist knows, doubt and difference are signs of a sick mind. </font>
<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">You don’t reach the same conclusions as the Consensus? You need therapy.</font></p>
<blockquote><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The project will fund legal advice and defense to those
who need it, while executing an offense to turn the tables on abusive
officials. Scientists, policy organizations and others should not have
to fear that they will be the next victims of the Climate
Inquisition—that they may face punishment and personal ruin for engaging
in research and advocating their views. <a href="http://www.freespeechinscience.org/" target="another">More</a>.</font></p></blockquote>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">We hope they have invested in crowd control.</font>
<font face="Times New Roman" size="4"><em>Note:</em> One thing some of us learned in the free speech wars
in Canada is that many people actually do not think it proper or polite
anymore to disagree with established figures merely on the basis of
evidence. The establishment, you see, has the right to decide what
evidence matters and how it should be interpreted.</font>
<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Also, traditional media were once genuine gatekeepers of news (for
better or worse). Then, they tended to be pro-freedom because they
needed freedom themselves. As they struggle with seas of red ink, they
need government more than government needs them, with predictable
results. Media will more often be seen backing suppressions mounted by
governments they are in sync with. Not always, to be sure, but the
culture is in transition, and trending that way.</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span class="st">--

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Abigail Fisher’s challenge to the University of Texas’s use of racial preferences in admissions decisions returns to the Supreme Court.
The Court previously intervened in 2012, when it reversed the Fifth
Circuit and directed the lower court to scrutinize more closely the
university’s justification for its use of race. The lower court
reaffirmed its previous ruling, and the Supreme Court took the case
again—surprising many observers, who now anticipate a landmark decision
that could change the face of affirmative action. Although <em>Fisher</em> hasn’t asked the Court to overrule <em>Grutter v. Bollinger</em>—the
2003 case holding that schools can take account of race to achieve
diversity in some cases—the justices could substantially narrow the
circumstances whereby schools can employ racial preferences, or even
close the door on preferences altogether. Affirmative-action proponents,
meanwhile, are pressing the Court to uphold the use of race in higher
education or, at the least, to issue a narrow, fact-specific decision
addressing only whether UT at Austin was justified in using race given
the substantial diversity that it has achieved through race-neutral
means.</font>
<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Our panel will address these issues from all sides, discussing what’s
at stake, what to look for at oral argument later in the week, and how
the individual justices may view the case.</font></p>
