Real Climate Enemies of Global Warming

It's almost too much to hear that the scientist who did this comes from the same 'tribe' of climate scientists that run Real Climate, a weblog devoted to climate issues. Started by a PR flack of Al Gore's, it is now a branch of the mysterious Fenton Communications, listed as a non-profit that doesn't disclose its sources of funding or its directors.
