Political Leaders to be Thrown in Jail for Ignoring Science?

David Suzuki has called for political leaders to be thrown in jail for ignoring the science behind climate change.






It was at a Montreal conference last Thursday, where the scientist and TV star spoke to an audience of 600 saying they should hold politicians legally accountable for, “an intergenerational crime”.

If ignoring science becomes a crime things will get crazy fast. Presumably, Mr. Suzuki will get to decide which science is real science and illegal to ignore and which science is not real science and therefore can be ignored. Wonder what he makes of the intelligent design movement vs. Darwinism. Somebody would be going to jail.

David Suzuki was named one of the “Greatest Canadians” not long ago by the venerable CBC. He is a fellow of the Order of Canada. What was he thinking? Maybe a more important question is, “What does he really think?” The spin-doctors will be in full damage control mode and this story will soon vanish but still, when someone of the stature of David Suzuki speaks people listen.
