  Bouncing e-mail

  Interestingly they have set bounces on their pr@cei.org and info@cei.org addresses where something mentions the ads - they don't like the reaction, do they?

  Or they could be worried that their server can't handle a targeted e-mail campaign from mocking websites.  I used to work for a small free-market think tank, and when a flood of traffic hit in response to some public controversy, it wreaked havoc on our systems.  Incidentally I don't know anyone at CEI.  You might try asking them why they're bouncing messages to the pr and info addresses before jumping to conclusions.

  (I had to give my name, e-mail, zip code and country to Grist to comment here - does that make them malevolent?  E-mail is open, for better or worse, unless you use AOL.)

  That said, I think the point of the ads, hyperbolic as they are, is that your preferred policies would have severe effects on the Western economy - something Al Gore surely knows.  And the science behind predictions of global catastrophe a hundred years away is murky at best.  This is what too many environmentalists don't realize - policy changes have real effects now, and uncertain (if any) benefits later.  Have a little compassion for today's inhabitants of Earth.On The CEI ads posted 3 years, 5 months ago 13 Responses
