There are almost no scientists debating whether or not humans are causing disruptive climate patterns any more, but the Heartland Institute (aka The Greenwasher) is sponsoring a "scientific" conference right now in New York City. They're calling it the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change. Justice of the Peace Doug Reed is attending to learn more about "the issue" as Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe considers a moratorium on new coal plant constuction.

Now, why is JP/physics teacher Doug Reed so unconvinced about climate change? He is a physics teacher?! It makes me wonder why Arkansas consistently comes in low in national education rankings. Contrast our public official's statement with this one from California:

"You can't have a science curriculum that is relevant and current if it doesn't deal with the science behind climate change."
