Well, OK, October is tied with 2005. And we're not even in El Niño conditions.<br /><br />I'd say it's about time the deniers took their Big Book O' Denial out of their collective closets and burned it. But, experience tells us that they'll probably hold onto their denial until... well:<br /><br />https://www.nytsyn.com/cartoons/cartoons?start_date=1901-01-01&search_id=74680&page=68#390110Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-76744412716572251782014-11-16T19:19:17.286+11:002014-11-16T19:19:17.286+11:00Well, here are the Board Members and here is Staff...Well, here are the <a href="http://marshall.org/board-members/" rel="nofollow">Board Members</a> and here is <a href="http://marshall.org/board-members/" rel="nofollow">Staff and Fellows.</a><br /><br />Remember, GMI originated in an effort to help Reagan push Star Wars.<br />Of course, CEO WIlliam O'Keefe was a 25-year veteran exec at the American Petroleum Institute, which may be relevant.<br />John Masheynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-35375634730147678882014-11-16T17:44:01.255+11:002014-11-16T17:44:01.255+11:00I wonder how many members of the George C Marshall...I wonder how many members of the George C Marshall Institute are also members of the The John Birch Society.

I once wrote about the Signer, happer, et al <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/another-silly-climate-petition-exposed" rel="nofollow">2009 Petition to the American Physical Society</a>, to undo their statement on climate change. Of ~47,000 members, they got ~200 signers, with older men over-represented.<br /><br />Happer didn't like that much. Eli Kintisch wrote in <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/content/332/6035/1250.summary" rel="nofollow"><i>Science</i></a>:<br />"Will Happer, a physicist at Princeton University who questions the consensus<br />view on climate, thinks <b>Mashey is a destructive force who uses “totalitarian tactics”</b>—publishing damaging documents online, without peer review—to carry out personal vendettas. Whereas Mann lauds Mashey for “exploring the underbelly of climate denial,” Happer says Mashey’s tactics are “contrary to open inquiry.”"<br /><br />I love that quote :-)<br /><br />By the way, be on the lookout for the movie version of <i>Merchants of Doubt</i>, which will give some insight in GMI and its worldview.<br /><br />John Masheynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-81843248221652998942014-11-16T15:42:51.565+11:002014-11-16T15:42:51.565+11:00Lol - yeah, CO is always my first thought, too.
