Heartland Blog Roundup
The Heartland Institute gathered a group of skeptics of global warming in New York City during Mar. 2 through Mar. 4. The conference speakers criticized the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and Al Gore, the two winners of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.
- Richard Littlemore at Desmogblog comments on the negative mainstream media reaction to the conference.
- Kevin Grandia at Desmogblog reports that the conference received no oil industry sponsorship, but received its support from right-wing think tanks.
- Curtis Brainard at The Observatory discusses the journalist’s dilemma on how to cover the conference.
- Matthew Nisbet at Framing Science proposes a strategy for responding to the Heartland Institute: First, appeal to authority rather than science, and then loudly assert the moral, religious, economic, and public health reasons to take action.
- MarkH at denialism blog suggests that Matthew Nisbet’s strategy is a good way to move beyond the impasse that obsessions over Al Gore’s persona have caused.
