Anatomy of a Botched Ambush: ABC Fails to Score Global Warming Point on Inhofe

The 7 Things That Killed the Climate Bill : TreeHugger
The news that reverberated around the web yesterday was hardly unexpected -- the climate bill, which Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid finally announced was officially dead, was on its way out for a long time. But that doesn't make its final departure any less devastating. In light of its passage let's look at what it is, exactly, that killed it. Here the 7 primary factors that contributed to its demise, plain and simple.
Forget global-warming denial; Al's trying global-groping denial | NJ.com
And that brings up a crucial question about his judgment: How is this guy going to solve global warming when he can't even tell a legit masseuse from one who likes to give customers a happy ending? The dumbest guy I know could figure out how to hire the right woman for the job. Why can't the former vice-president?

Money makes the activists go round - On Line Opinion - 28/6/2010
Despite clear evidence that the funds are going to the global warming side and the amounts going to sceptic organisations of various sorts being derisory by comparison, activists continue to scream about how the debate is loaded against them. The reality is that sceptics remain mostly unpaid part timers but those dedicated volunteers have managed to score impressive victories against full-time climate scientists backed by massive resources. Having the truth on your side does help, sometimes.
