Friends of Science: Facts from the Coal Industry's Favourite Scientist

There are few people in the climate change denial industry who have Pat Michaels’ demonstrated willingness to cuddle up to big coal.

So, it’s no surprise that the discredited Friends of Science chose Michaels as keynote speaker for the Friends’ Fifth Annual Luncheon Event.

Note the Friends interesting new truth-in-advertising tagline: “Advocates of Climate Change Debate.”

Which seems to say, we don’t care if the truth is buried in there anywhere, we just want to keep stoked the flames of indecision. (See next post).
