A few paragraphs farther into the "Koch brothers" article in the link above, it says this: "A far different story about climate change is told by the residents of Kivalina, a small Alaskan island above the Arctic Circle. ... As one tribal administrator notes: "The debate is over, we are dealing with the realities of climate change."
Yes, indeed. And one of those realities was a recent (9/21) major news item regarding one of the top three global warming nuisance lawsuits: "9th Circuit Court rules against Kivalina -- The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday upheld a U.S. District Court ruling that Kivalina didn't have standing to sue oil, coal and power companies." http://finance.yahoo.com/news/9th-circuit-court-rules-against-010209907.html
