Not only are they mostly driven by financial agendas, but they also make the intellectual blunder of mistaking climate for weather!

Let me guess– it’s all going to be the fault of somebody connected to the National Center for Science Education, right? Maybe somebody who was thinking of possibly becoming a member of NCSE was shown handing over money to somebody from Heartland who posed as a poor widow with a sick child?? And the poor sucker SHOULD HAVE KNOWN the money would really be used for a sleazy billboard?

At what point are corporations going to start thinking it’s not good for their image to associate with the Heartland brand of data manipulation?
