Your organization's mission statement says:
<i>CMD's mission is to promote transparency and an informed debate by exposing corporate spin and government propaganda and by engaging the public in collaborative, fair and accurate reporting.</i>
As you seem committed to fair reporting, I was just wondering if there is a similar article regarding the IPCC on this site, analysing the political and financial forces involved.
Scientists from places like MIT, Harvard, UVa, Penn, Rochester, Pasteur Institute have posted their presentations with their data indicating the AGW scare is vastly over-rated, and the proposed solutions to a non-problem are more damaging than the worse-case effects of AGW itself. Just go to http://www.heartland.org/events/NewYork08/newyork2008-ppt.html and see for yourself- if you're not afraid of the data.
Meanwhile, the U. of Albany is confronting fraud allegations against one of their professors who provided data to one of the cornerstone papers of AGW oft-cited by Real Climate and similar AGW pseudo-science/panic sites.
This is not solely a political debate- fraud and non-verifiable data will eventually be outed, no matter the amount of funding from whatever sources. And we will know more clearly (as anyone looking at their thermometer lately could tell you) that AGW is a scam...

So politics never supplanted science in the Bush administration, whose leftover messes we're now dealing with?

Here's where the deniers say, "But most of most of UCS's members aren't even climate scientists." Well, yes. That's just because political subversion of science was hardly limited to climate science.
We debunk the Oregon Institute petition on our SourceWatch site:

The climate skeptics are full of sound and fury (and misleading type fonts), but it's clear, upon closer examination, that their arguments signify nothing.
Bob: Thanks for the update on the Heartland meeting. I'm seeking more information on Heartland and climate change for Cult of Green (a blog on the media and the environment). Would you (or anyone else with good info who reads this) send me an e-mail at ken@atlantaunsheltered.com or via the comments section at the following post (which is on Heartland)? http://cultofgreen.com/2009/06/02/and-now-a-word-from-our-greenwashers/
