During the Climate and Clean Energy Investment Forum held in Washington on Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry said those who question climate change should be disqualified from seeking public office.

Kerry said that “when I hear a United States senator say, ‘I’m not a scientist so I can’t make a judgment,’ or a candidate for president for that matter, I’m absolutely astounded. I mean, it’s incomprehensible that a grownup who has been to high school and college in the United States of America disqualifies themselves because they’re not a scientist when they’ve learned that the Earth rotates on its axis but they’re not a scientist; where they’ve learned that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west and it does so 24 hours a day; and you can run the list of things that we know science tells us happens, and we accept it every single day.

“And to suggest that when more than 6,000-plus peer-reviewed studies of the world’s best scientists all lay out that this is happening and mankind is contributing to it, it seems to me that they disqualify themselves fundamentally from high public office with those kinds of statements,” he said.

In the past Democrats have called for criminalizing climate change skepticism.

Following a letter sent to Obama, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and the head of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy by a group of climate scientists calling for their political opponents to be investigated by the government, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat, proposed using RICO against skeptics.

RICO, short for Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, is a federal law designed to investigate and prosecute the Mafia and organized crime. It imposes prison sentences up to 20 years and the seizure of financial assets.
