Several reporters from a major newspaper spent a long time analyzing data to determine whether the US is already experiencing warming ... do we not have scientists doing that job? Are they bound as well as gagged? This is the sort of crazy you get in collapsing empires. I do like the word used in the other headline: criminal. Technically, it may not be criminal in the US to deny climate change when in a powerful position -- and in fact, you can sign laws that make doing anything about it criminal. In Canada they are trying to make talking about it "partisan" and therefore something 501 (c) 3 org's can't do — they are going crazy up there even faster somehow.
