This isn't News

I saw, and responded, to this same article in Treehugger earlier today. This isn't news, and the IG office is, in my opinion and according to the WaPo article cited, overreacting to what is clearly an interoffice memo on press-related communications. Employees without media communications experience or job descriptions have no business communicating with press. I don't see anywhere in the context of the original memo that employees are barred from communicating confidentially with the IG.

Finally

I was originally pointed toward this article by a fellow Livejournal user, a woman who is not as familiar with global warming/climate change/environmentalism, and thus was more interested than appalled by Monckton's "evidence".

Intrigued myself, not to mention skeptical and a bit disturbed, I decided to dig into the SPPI's supposed credibility. Oh Internet, what did I do before I had you? I read up on SPPI's "publications," Monckton's "credibility", and even went so far as to call the offices of SPPI (they don't answer the phone, and they don't have voicemail...). After ten minutes of Google-ing, I smirked, returned to my friend's blog to make some jovial commentary, and scanned blogs for other mentions of Monckton's theory.

Sadly, I could find none! Well, unless they were praising Monckton's debunking of the "Global Warming Scam". Finally. Finally someone intelligent (and published) takes a good, solid look at the loony toon that is TVMOB. Thanks for the article. Keep up the good work.
