re: #171 LudwigVanQuixote

Thanks - by the way, I fixed the link, but you probably replied to my un-edited post (not sure if you noticed, but there’s a little “pencil” icon for our comments now, and last night, Charles extended the editing-permitted time from 2 minutes to 10! Yay, PIMF posts no more! :) )

As for the “journal”, this is the red flag study I was referring to. Basically a long screed smearing Ontario’s green energy program. One of the authors is a columnist for the right-wing rag “Financial Post” newspaper (which has published AGW-denying dreck before). The other author is an agriculture professor who, like the infamous Ivar Gaeiver, is also fond of shilling for Koch-funded organizations: Glenn Fox - Fraser Institute

What’s the Fraser Institute? Basically Canada’s version of the execrable Heritage Foundation: Fraser Institute among dozens of climate denial groups funded by oil company, report says

According to the report, the Fraser Institute received US$175,000 from Koch foundations between 2005 and 2008.

“The Fraser Institute publishes in-depth critiques of climate science, including a 110-page report attacking the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fourth Assessment report,” the Greenpeace report states. “They also offer lesson plans and educational materials designed to encourage children to be skeptical of mainstream climate science.”

Pretty rancid, eh? :/
