Saw Gore’s opus last night. More on that to come.
\nFor now: just read the letters page of the Listener’s most recent issue. It features a letter by Vincent Gray of Wellington, listing a set of claims which (supposedly) counter Gore’s (supposed) alarmism.
\nI plugged Gray’s name into google and found his writings referenced with admiration by NZ’s own climate change denial organization, http:\/\/www.climatescience.org.nz\/<\/a>.
\nThe top item on Climate Science’s site is an anti-Inconvenient Truth piece from the Competitive Enterprise Institute<\/a>.
\nExxon has given the CEI over $2million US since 1998<\/a> for, among other things, “climate change outreach”.
