Yea, The Tribune-Review Ed. Board Lies AGAIN About The Climate Lawsuit

This won't take long.

Take a look:
The hypocrisy of liberal state attorneys general in their pursuit of climate change “deniers” and, specifically, ExxonMobil, is on stark display in their bitter response to subpoenas served by the House Science Committee.
And:
And while the same AGs suggest racketeering by those who dare to question the “settled science” of climate change, they, themselves, colluded with environmentalists, who briefed them on prosecuting the “deniers,” The Times reports.

Free speech on climate science is not the malicious “fraud” that the AGs make it out to be. They should exercise their own First Amendment right, preferably before the House Science Committee.
Like most everything else you say about climate change, you can keep saying it but that doesn't make it true.

Here's the truth.  Based (in part) on this story:
The state of New York is investigating whether Exxon Mobil misled the public and investors about the risks of climate change, a move sought by environmentalists that could signal a broader reckoning with the conduct of big energy companies.

A spokesman for Exxon Mobil confirmed Thursday that the company had received a subpoena from the office of the attorney general of New York, Eric Schneiderman, related to the subject of climate change and was “assessing” its response.

The investigation focuses on whether Exxon Mobil intentionally clouded public debate about science and hid from investors the risks that climate change could pose to its business according to a person familiar with the matter.
Guys, you know we've been here before

As far back as the late 70s, Exxon knew the science was right and yet within a few years began to fund the "think tanks" that would sow doubt into the minds of the gas-purchasing public in order to keep the profits going.  That's fraud.

Fraud is not a free-speech issue.

Do the AGs have any proof the groups the Democrats listed engaged in fraud?
Even the tobacco lawsuits did not target people who just agreed with the tobacco companies.
Davyoe response: LOOK OVER THERE!!!

"As far back as the late 70s, Exxon knew the science was right "
So the SCIENCE! said that the World was going to run of oil by 2000.

Single mothers should have their babies taken away by the government; or they could be forced to have abortions
Mass sterilization of humans though drugs in the water supply is OK as long as it doesn't harm livestock
The government could control women's reproduction by either sterilizing them or implanting mandatory long-term birth control

Awaiting Davyoe to debunk this

"to express their collective “disapproval” of the way 33 organizations speak about climate change, and to urge these allegedly “interconnected” groups to cooperate maximally with various ongoing government investigations into their uncorrect opinions."
...
"the targets of this shaming exercise are not being afforded the courtesy to rebut the charges in the forum at which they are being smeared,”
