Global Warming Thuggery

Reports Fox’s Bret Baier: [1]

The head of the Environmental Protection Agency says he will investigate a threatening letter sent to a global warming skeptic by the head of a group advocating the use of renewable energy.

The Washington Times reports American Council on Renewable Energy President Michael Eckhart wrote to Competitive Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Marlo Lewis — “It is my intention to destroy your career as a liar. If you produce one more editorial against climate change, I will launch a campaign against your professional integrity.”

The EPA is a member of ACORE — and so are several other government agencies. Eckhart told the Times he apologizes to all who were offended by his choice of words, and says the letter was a private communication in the context of what he called “personal combat and jousting.”

No, Mr. Eckart. Those are in legal terms, called “Threats”. More specifically, it’s trying to control the conversation, by means of threats.  Clearly, you consider yourself unable two when the conversation with logic and science, (understandably) and so we revert to threatening your opponents.

Ladies and gentlemen this is precisely how weak the AGW argument is.
