Global warming deniers to pow-wow in Washington « Summit County Citizens Voice

SUMMIT COUNTY — If it weren’t so dangerous, it would be funny. The Heartland Institute, a conservative think tank funded by Exxon Mobil and Charles Koch, is once again rounding up its stable of climate change deniers for the sixth annual Conference on Climate Change (June 30, July 1) in Washington, D.C.

The group is literally playing with fire by trying to slow and block any meaningful policy changes that might slow the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It works hard to confuse the public about the veracity of climate science.
