Whiskey Fire:
It's a very odd thing: there are lots and lots of perfectly legitimate reasons to criticize the Obama administration, but the right wing blogosphere has yet to come up with a single line of attack that isn't totally loony.
Thers actually takes the time to do what wingnuts should have done before buying this latest conservative think tank sponsored attempt at spreading blatant corporate propaganda.
You know, when someone decides not to publish a fiction disguised as a climate science report by two guys with no climate science credentials, I wouldn't exactly call that "suppressing".
In the same way I wouldn't call refusing to let an auto mechanic diagnose my mother when she's had a heart attack "suppressing" a medical opinion.
Paul Krugman's op-ed:
I’d call this a crazy conspiracy theory, but doing so would actually be unfair to crazy conspiracy theorists. After all, to believe that global warming is a hoax you have to believe in a vast cabal consisting of thousands of scientists — a cabal so powerful that it has managed to create false records on everything from global temperatures to Arctic sea ice.
To put it into terms they might understand - If these deniers don't get on the right side of this and soon, there won't be a habitable Argentina left to house their mistresses.
Update
Just because this, so far, is the best quote I have read on the story:
"a ragbag collection of un-peer reviewed web pages, an unhealthy dose of sunstroke, a dash of astrology and more cherries than you can poke a cocktail stick at."
