News From Heartland Institute Climate Conference: Barre Seid Is HI's Anonymous Donor

It will be interesting now to see if any pressure is brought to bear upon him and his holdings.  General Motors, for example, was eventually convinced to end their funding of HI.

His company makes surge protectors. Which would be more needed than ever in an excessively stormy world! Coincidence?

I've gotta find my way back to your blog, Greg. I haven't read it in almost two years now.
