Leaked Email Reveals Who’s Who List of Climate Denialists

Leaked Email Reveals Who’s Who List of Climate Denialists
A network of pundits and scientists is consulted about stopping release of “Merchants of Doubt,” a documentary film that exposes their work.
In the months before the debut of the new documentary film “Merchants of Doubt,” long-time climate denialist Fred Singer contacted more than two dozen bloggers, public relations specialists and scientists asking for help in derailing the documentary’s release.
“Can I sue for damages?” Singer asked in an email last October. “Can we get an injunction against the documentary?”
Among the shills uncovered is Judith Curry, whom AGW denialists have been eager to trot out as a plausibly moderate skeptic with legitimate-sounding credentials.
Curry is a professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Institute of Technology. During a January 2014 hearing before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, Curry said the problem of climate change has been “vastly oversimplified.” She said scientists should pay more attention to the role of natural variability in the climate system and the uncertainties in climate modeling. She also said the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is overly confident in attributing most of the warming to human activity.

Revenge porn purveyor Craig Brittain, meet karma. You worthless piece of crap. Here’s the full story on this asshole:
I think that in order to propagate and worsen Craig Brittain (make sure you use his name as often as possible, for SEO purposes) embarrassment and rage, we should all share by adding our commentary. Here’s mine:
After seeing this picture of Craig Brittain, I’m relieved that his face is all I’ve been subjected to. Seeing as much of him as he showed of his victims would only bring more ugliness to the world.
Found this on Twitter and it gave me a little tingle.

Are you kidding me? This comes as a surprise? “The Bank of England has joined the growing ranks of those warning of the financial risk posed by a “carbon bubble,” which will occur if urgently needed climate change regulations (and efficiency improvements) render coal, oil, and gas assets worthless.” This is, of course 100% the reason why the coal barons and petro-sheiks have funded the Denialist Cult, which strenuously blocks even moderate-compromise efforts at energy efficiency. Why else would the Fox-line be “absolutely no science and no compromise, ever!”
“As the world increasingly limits carbon emissions, and moves to alternative energy sources, investments in fossil fuels and related technologies—a growing financial market in recent decades—may take a huge hit.” Moreover: “Leaving aside the ethics of divestment and pursuing a purely rational economic analysis, the cold hard numbers of putting money into fossil fuels don’t look good.”
