Should Global Warming/Climate Change denial be a crime?.

[jc]

Should people who deny global warming/climate change or question the findings of the IPCC be prosecuted?.

No, but...

The "global warming" alarmists should be rounded up and given a day by daty account of the Irish summer of 2007.

...they should be educated in the difference between "wet" and "cold", the difference between "Irish summer" and "global year", and the difference between "weather" and "climate".

Simple question, Should people who deny global warming/climate change or question the findings of the IPCC be prosecuted?. What punishment should they recieve (if any) ?.

That is a stupid question.

I totally agree. We all agree that this is a science related issue. The power of science is that it allows for sceptics or devils advocates. These are generally the people who push the boundaries. Without them everybody would be inside the box thinking the same thing rather than being innovated and finding new ways to do things.

Fools seldom differ.

A fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer.

There's no such thing as a stupid question....only inquisitive idiots.

Ignorance can be cured. Stupidity is terminal.

But this concept is not new - thought crimes. Its a crime to deny the holocaust in Germany. This is the same thing except applied to global warming denial.

What boundaries are you talking about specifically?
