Morano Stirs The Debate In New York

Controversy. Confrontation. Facts.

Such words could be used to describe the past, exciting week for CFACT as they held their 2nd REAL Energy Speaker Series, featuring Marc Morano.

Morano, the founder and executive editor of ClimateDepot.com, and noted TV commentator on such channels as FOX News, CNN, and The Blaze, was the featured speaker for two different New York campuses.

For two nights at Syracuse University and SUNY-Albany, Morano addressed large crowds to discuss the climate change narrative driving so much of our popular culture and policy. Morano focused on the growing number of contradictions within the rank-and-file of scientists and climate change activists, and how it has overshadowed much of the scientific evidence prevalent in those same circles.

First, on a Tuesday evening in the 100-seat Gifford Auditorium, the room was nearly filled with students and activists on both sides of the issue, eager to hear what Morano had to say.

Morano started his discussion with introductory videos of his past debates on television, then dipped into the myriad of quotes setting the stage for where the climate change debate stands today. He talked about how all of these ideas simply amount to “scientific crap.”

From the Greenhouse to the Big House...

When liberals said global warming causes crime, no one knew it was because they planned on prosecuting their opponents! Late last week, climate alarmist Lawrence Torcello didn't do his movement any favors when he lobbied for jailing global warming skeptics (which, after yesterday's storm, might have included the entire city of Washington). It was a new low for an environmental movement that is already God's gift to late-night comedy.

Torcello, a professor at New York's Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), tested the idea in an essay for "The Conversation," (an ironic name, since that's exactly what the Left is hoping to end). In particular, the professor takes aim at conservative groups trying to raise awareness about what the science really says about the manufactured crisis of global warming. "Consider cases in which science communication is intentionally undermined for political and financial gain," Torcello writes. "I submit that this is just what is happening with the current, well-documented funding of global warming denialism... We have good reason to consider the funding of climate denial to be criminally and morally negligent. The charge of criminal and moral negligence ought to extend to all activities of the climate deniers who receive funding as part of a sustained campaign to undermine the public's understanding of scientific consensus."

Setting aside the criminal aspect, who are liberals to talk about the funding of a "sustained campaign to undermine the public's understanding" of science? They don't call it the "green" movement for nothing! Radical environmentalists have funneled billions of dollars into a global fact-twisting mission to drown out the truth. Torcello's hypocrisy, though, is just a footnote to the bigger outrage -- which is the idea that disbelief with liberals is grounds for imprisonment. Unfortunately for Torcello, there's no jail big enough to hold the millions of Americans unconvinced by the Left's "science."
