Hi David,
I regularly check your blog as you have news that I have not noticed elsewhere. This is post an example. The tobacco companies were eventually forced to stop telling lies by legal processes, maybe the same thing will happen to the climate denial industry.

This off topic, but you might be interested in the attempts in Australia by our right-wing government to get rid of carbon pricing. This reached quite farcical levels in our Senate yesterday. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the following week. This story is too complicated to explain in a comment but if you are interested here is a newspaper article describing the debarcle: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/10/clive-palmers-last-minute-carbon-tax-amendment-sows-confusion

The story I linked to had that figure: $250.

But it's more the principle of the award.
