The state attorneys general of New York and Massachusetts and eight environmental groups that have accused climate change skeptics of lying to the public are now themselves the subject of a congressional probe.
The House Science, Space and Technology Committee issued subpoenas to New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey, and the eight green groups after they missed a July 13 deadline to turn over documents related to their “coordinated” attack on climate change skeptics, chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) announced Wednesday.
The subpoenas ordered them to turn over documents “related to coordinated efforts to deprive companies, nonprofit organizations, scientists and scholars of their First Amendment rights,” according to a committee press release.
“The attorneys general have appointed themselves to decide what is valid and what is invalid regarding climate change,” Smith said at a press conference. “The attorneys general are pursuing a political agenda at the expense of scientists’ right to free speech.”RELATED: Trump’s VP Doubts Climate Change
