Climate Change, Unlimited Liability, and the End Of Capitalism

Freedom is impossible when lawful behavior can be criminalized at the whim of mercenaries and fanatics. The edicts of this grim religion will now be enforced through billion-dollar lawsuits.

EXCERPTS:

So far, we’re only talking about 132 lawsuits in the United States during 2010… but that was triple the number filed in 2009.

None of these efforts have been hindered in the least by the exposure of the “climate change” fraud.  It’s become a religious crusade, immune to logic, scientific evidence, and leaked emails which reveal key “climatologists” were simply making up whatever data they needed to fuel the movement.

The fanatics can’t win elections any more, but they don’t have to, if they can win a few crucial billion-dollar junk-science lawsuits.

Actions that were perfectly legal five or ten years ago will suddenly become crimes to be punished with ruinous financial judgments.

This legal movement, if it succeeds, would represent nothing less than the end of capitalism.  It would create a mechanism for courts, and the certified “experts” who turn up at trials, to siphon a bottomless stream of money out of the private sector.  It would, in essence, criminalize industry itself.

We should nip this nonsense in the bud before we pull more billions out of an anemic private sector, to enrich government agents and lawyers.  Freedom is impossible when lawful behavior can be criminalized at the whim of mercenaries and fanatics.
