"Liveblogging the Heartland Institute's Global Warming Denier Conference"

See the Daily Kos post here.

Excerpts:
They don’t want you to see it for what it is - a gathering of people who may have some science in their backgrounds but have long since sold their soul to the energy industry...You can also read more from Kevin Grandia at DeSmogBlog, one of the few true greens allowed to register for the event.
According to Anthony Watts, alarmists like Al Gore, James Hansen, and Gavin Schmidt were in fact invited
to attend.

Yup, NWF tried to register on Friday but was told it was booked up. They were nice enough to allow us to register as media to blog the event today, though.

You don't even have to source Watts for that - the folks at Realclimate WERE invited well in advance and even posted a snarky blog post about it and how they only go to REAL Scientific Conferences. I think I commented somewhere that if they hadn't been invited then the first thing would have been shrill cries of being 'shut out'.
