Pat Michaels

Pat Michaels gets caught taking $100K to do the coal industry's dirty work of denying global warming. If there is any justice in this world this ought to be the end of his inglorious career, and if I was the U of Virginia I think I'd run him out of there as well.

Here is the IREA memo that spells out the dirty deal. (IREA = Intermountain Rural Electric Association.)

    It's nice when this sort of thing gets leaked. But what was really news to me was that the CEI ad campaign was funded by Ford and GM. Was that widely known and I somehow just missed it?
