"Climate Of Doubt"

I totally missed this yesterday, it's a Frontline documentary about climatology denial, called "Climate Of Doubt".  It is excellent and gives a great expose of all the denialist groups and Fred Singer in particular.  My only negative criticism is that the show's journalist referred to the deniers as "skeptics".  Deniers are not skeptics. There is a difference.

The battle is obviously still ongoing as represented by this bullshit piece in the UK's Mail Online.  The UK's Met Office has responded to the piece.  The website Skeptical Science also does a handy smackdown.

I hadn't heard of the American Tradition Institute, which was mentioned in the documentary.  I went to their webpage and they have a piece denouncing the documentary and promoting the Mail Online article. HA!  They were only founded in 2009, so that may explain my ignorance of them.   Mostly a bunch of white, male Republicans.  What a surprise.
