Heartland Institute 58 Experts Poster Remixed by DeSmog, Willie Soon Among Denialist Dozens

onFeb 23, 2015 @ 12:55 PST

With the news of Willie Soon’s fossil-fuel-funded career featured on the front page of The New York Times on Sunday, there’s no time like the present to take a look at all of Soon’s friends in the anti-science climate denial echo chamber.

Where to begin? Well, the climate denial think tank Heartland Institute graciously created a poster of 58 “experts” who reject the 97% consensus on climate change science. Heartland’s poster — which Sen. James Inhofe (R-Denial) used as a prop in a recent Senate floor speech attacking climate change as a “hoax” again — features the “58 Experts” the climate deniers love to promote.

So, DeSmog remixed the Heartland 58 poster with more accurate bios of the 58 so the public can judge whether to believe the fossil-fuel-funded Heartland Institute or the overwhelming scientific consensus.
