Something's Rotten in Boston

By Elmer Beauregard, Sept. 8, 2010

A New Global Warming Report came out today by a "Minnesota" group.

HACKENSACK - Yet another Global Warming report came out today, it's called "Global Warming and Extreme Weather" and its put out by a group called Environment Minnesota.

I haven't had a chance to look at it in detail yet, but it seems to be the same old recycled shtick. They are trying to blame the horribly cold winter we had on "Global Warming". Plus, there were some floods and it was hot this summer (even though it never broke 100º) and its all our fault. So just like our ancestors we must make sacrifices to the gods of Global Warming and they will save us.

I Googled the term "extreme weather global warming" to see what people were saying about it and was surprised by what I found.

This same supposedly "Local" report was also done in Maryland by Environment Maryland. I found the same thing in NewJersey, Iowa, Pennsylvania (of course), and Virginia. I don't know how long the list goes on.

The other thing I noticed is all the websites have the same logo, so I did a whois and found out that all these sites are registered by the same group Fund for Public Interest based in Boston Massachusetts and by the same person Marcia Eldridge.

It turns out that all these websites are really an offshoot of EnvironmentAmerica.org

Now there is nothing wrong with this, anybody can put up any website they want. Heck I have a website called "Minnesotans For Global Warming". The only difference is I'm actually from Minnesota. I think its a little disingenuous to make all these reports seem like they are generated by the individual states, when actually its the same report with a different Cover and Acknowledgments page for each one.

Plus, this is supposed to seem like some scientific organization, but when you dig a little deeper you find links to the Sierra Club, Green Peace, and even MoveOn.org. I think this is just a last ditch effort by the environmentalcases to push Cap and Trade through before the November elections.
