We knew this was coming as the extreme leftists try to out looney each other.
Someone disagrees with you? Imprison the heretics!
The law is inconvenient for your agenda? Destroy the law that has guided us for over 200 years!
No?
I didn't think you would care to go there. You never like to have it pointed out to you how your ideological brethren have to imprison and murder those who disagree with the party line. The last numbers I have read put the number of dead who were murdered by radical leftist (read, socialist and communist) leaders at somewhere over 200 million in the past century.
Effective population control indeed. Perhaps we need to examine another group for admittance to the prisons and gulags. The rest of us would be more free and happy as a result.
Lock and load. The revolution is coming. Good thing our side has the guns.

A professor with Rochester Institute of Technology has called for the incarceration of any American who actively disagrees that climate change is solely caused by human activity.Would any of you leftists care to cite examples of similar radical activities that have taken place in the past century?
Lawrence Torcello, a philosophy professor with a Ph.D. from the University at Buffalo, published the comments as part of an essay submitted to the academic website The Conversation.
Torcello argues that malignant individuals, who he does not identify, are collectively organizing a “campaign funding misinformation” about climate change. Torcello goes on to suggest that such activity “ought to be considered criminally negligent.”Adding that “science misinformation” surrounding climate change should be considered a crime, Torcello asks readers to “Consider cases in which science communication is intentionally undermined for political and financial gain.”
He then goes on to cite a case in Italy where six scientists were jailed for failing to “clearly communicate risks to the public” about living in an earthquake zone.
“Imagine if in L’Aquila, scientists themselves had made every effort to communicate the risks of living in an earthquake zone,” Torcello states, asking the reader to consider the consequences if malevolent “financiers” of a “denialist campaign” “funded an organised campaign to discredit the consensus findings of seismology, and for that reason no preparations were made.”
“I submit that this is just what is happening with the current, well documented funding of global warming denialism,” Torcello asserts.
“Climate denial remains a serious deterrent against meaningful political action in the very countries most responsible for the crisis.” the professor adds.
Torcello also addresses the fact that his demands clearly run in opposition to protected free speech under the First Amendment, and as part of other nations’ laws, calling for legal systems to be “updated” by governments.
“We must make the critical distinction between the protected voicing of one’s unpopular beliefs, and the funding of a strategically organized campaign to undermine the public’s ability to develop and voice informed opinions,” he writes.
According to a Gallup poll conducted earlier this month, two thirds of Americans do not believe that the colder temperatures the country has been experiencing is related to human-caused climate change or global warming, (see video above) instead believing that normal seasonal variations are at play.
The “scientific consensus” on the matter says that human activity is a factor in temperature changes, thus under Torcello’s “updated” law, two thirds of Americans would be at risk of being deemed as criminals for expressing these beliefs.
