Is anyone watching "Christopher Horner" "debunking" climate change theory on CSPAN2 right now?

I've never so much crap come out of one bodily opening (his mouth, of course).

He, apparently, wrote "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming."

Well, CEI, I see more and more Priuses on the road every day (I drive one). I've cut my gasoline bill to 1/6 of what it used to be (between working out of the house, and driving the Prius). Hope Big Oil's profits will be goin' down, down, down soon ...

[drm604]

11. Yep.

Competitive Enterprise Institute is a notorious right-wing so-called "think tank". Of course, most of the thinking they do is about how to spin, or outright lie, about the facts. It's basically a Repub and corporate mouthpiece.
