No banning of speech.
No silencing of scientists

None of what you claimed was true. But that's typical of liberals. They get hysterical and make claims which are not true, hoping that their fearmongering will cause people to join with them.

You're either ignorant of the facts, or seeking to misinform our readers:

House Bill 819 (S.L. 2012-201), bans state and local agencies from basing its coastal policies on scientific models indicating an accelerating rise in sea level in favor of historical linear predictions. The law further mandates that the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) and the Division of Coastal Management do not define sea-level change for regulatory purposes prior to July 1, 2016. Additionally, the law directs the CRC to refine its study no later than March 31, 2015 with a scope not to exceed 30 years. While supporters of the bill argue sea level rise should be based upon historical trends and ask for additional scientific studies, ultimately, this bill prohibits the use of crucial scientific evidence and has the potential to harm North Carolinians on the coast.

Opponents argue that the law ignores scientific predictions of sea level rise in favor of economic gain. “We have serious sea level rise and we have a bill here that says the CRC can’t consider sea level rise while they are making their decisions,” said state Rep. Mary Price Harrison (D). The repercussions of North Carolina House Bill 819, should it extend beyond July 2016, could be devastating for the constituencies it intends to shield while opening up the potential for litigation in the event of disaster for failure of the government to properly protect its citizens. “By putting our heads in the sand literally, we are not helping property owners,” state Rep. Deborah Ross (D) told Reuters when the law was passed. “Ignorance is not bliss. It’s dangerous."
