Flashback: Anti-Warming Scam at Work in NY - by Paul Chesser

New York state is frittering away millions to "buy" prefab anti-global-warming advice that would just be more bad news for the local economy.

Last November, Gov. Paterson issued an executive order setting up a Climate Action Council. This panel of state bureaucrats will supposedly address ways the state can fight warming. In fact, the fix is in: The report will push strongly toward a phase-out of New York's fossil-fueled power plants and motor vehicles.

This drill has been run already in 33 states, from Alaska to Florida. Behind most of those efforts -- and now New York's -- is the Center for Climate Strategies, a Washington-based warming-alarmist group that lobbies governors to use its services.

The nonprofit usually collects about a half-million dollars each time it's hired -- some from state coffers, but more from such wealthy activist foundations as the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
