#2 “If it is possible to minimize the risks of climate change, then the same goes for exaggeration,” said the letter. “If minimization is fraud, exaggeration is fraud.”

I like the 13 AG's reasoning. It was good for a laugh and in a way, I like anything that jabs at these left wing PC tyrants who are pushing their agenda. And perhaps it is best to push legislation at the State level. However, I'd be concerned that any such prosecution would have the effect of stifling 1st Amendment rights on either side. I'd rather see an argument based on protecting the 1st Amendment rights of individuals. However, SCOTUS has shown itself to be untrustworthy to protect individual liberties.

#4 You don't fight the lefts suppression of our freedom of speech with more restrictions on freedom of speech.

At this rate there will rapidly come a time where you fight the left's suppression of speech with ball ammunition.

#5 Arguably the alarmists are doing far more damage.
