Heartland: vile scum propaganda

Typical Right WingNut propaganda.  Demonizing your opponents on an important issue:

"The people who still believe in man-made global warming are mostly on the radical fringe of society. This is why the most prominent advocates of global warming aren't scientists. They are murderers, tyrants, and madmen."

This from the Heartland Institute ,  a right-wing think-tank committed to climate change denial and funded first by big Tobacco and then big Oil.  They're pro-corporate and anti-science, and apparently they don't care much about rationality, ethics, or common civility, either.

Shame! Shame!  Goebbles  (and Ann Coulter) would be proud at Heartland's propaganda campaign which looks to outsleaze even the Republican presidential campaigning rhetoric.

But, as usual, the ignorant Right are so blinded by dogma they can't tell facts from their own made up fictions.  "Research shows that more than 97% of scientists actively publishing in the field agree that climate change is real and human caused." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204740904577193270727472662.html

Looks like the AGW folks are far mor reasonable:

Hardly the UniBomber types.
