State panel not sold on climate strategy - NOLA.com

A majority of the elected officials on the Louisiana Public Service Commission, the body responsible for setting state energy policy and deciding what types of power plants to build, say they believe public concerns about global warming are overblown.

In fact, three of the five members of the state body that regulates electricity production said they remain unconvinced that human activities are playing a role in heating up the planet.

"I don't buy into what is a majority position now. I think there is evidence that man-made climate change may not exist, " said Jimmy Field, a commissioner who represents Baton Rouge and Lafayette. "I've heard presentations both ways, that it is man-made, and I've heard that other speakers say that there really isn't a lot of evidence for it." [Via Climate Realists]

S.F. Chronicle Blogger Upset Over Climate Change Skepticism; Likens Issue to Evolution, Sex Education Debates | NewsBusters.org

Want to see the bitterness of media elitism? Take a look at what San Francisco Chronicle's environmental blog, "The Thin Green Line," thinks of the public's attitude about global warming.

According to an April 17 Rasmussen Reports poll, only one out of three voters believes global warming is caused by human activity. For Cameron Scott of the Chronicle's "The Thin Green Line," this isn't due to the public's ability to discern a hoax when they see one, but a so-called "disinformation campaign," as he explained on an April 18 post.

"This is the most successful disinformation campaign in the history of the world (it's largely financed by fossil fuel companies)," Scott wrote. "There is virtual scientific unanimity on the issue: Natural planetary trends alone cannot account for the rapid changes we are currently witnessing."
