NRSP = "Now Really Secret Payments"

onNov 7, 2006 @ 14:12 PST

Tim Lambert, at deltoid, has come up with another great play on words for the NRSP, Canada’s new climate change denial group, . As we reported yesterday, the executive director of the Natural Resource Stewardship Project, Tom Harris, claims that “a confidentiality agreement doesn’t allow him to say whether energy companies are funding his group.” We thought tagging the NRSP as “Not Really Science People” was clever, but Tim has added to the fun by claiming Harris recieves “Now Really Secret Payments.”

Let the mocking continue, because it’s pretty clear that very few people are taking this group seriously.
