Excellent summary of Republican Senator James Inhofe's work on the committee cherry picking of mostly discredited global warming denial reports. Wonder why he does it? Well... Since 1999, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, Inhofe has received almost $300,000 in campaign donations from oil and gas interests and nearly $180,000 from electric utilities. In the 2002 election cycle, he received more oil and gas contributions than any senator except Texas' John Cornyn. http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?articleId=7603 And on the "experts" Inhofe cherry-picked: Some key "skeptics" show up again and again in the echo chamber funded by ExxonMobil. ExxonMobil has pumped more than $8 million into more than 40 think tanks; media outlets; and consumer, religious, and even civil rights groups that preach skepticism about the oncoming climate catastrophe. Herewith, a representative overview. The following article debunks the crap Dixon thinks he can fool people with. http://www.motherjones.com/news/featurex/2005/05/exxon_chart.html --After reading the chart it's even more fun to read further about the desperate bullshit tactics the Big Energy paid clowns on the fringe right attempt to foster on the public.
