Denial Ain't Just a River in Africa

The Alaskan state Legislature is trying to put the best face possible on global warming.  From the Anchorage Daily News:

The state Legislature is looking to hire a few good polar bear scientists. The conclusions have already been agreed upon -- researchers just have to fill in the science part.

A $2 million program funded with little debate by the Legislature last month calls for using state money to fund an "academic based" conference that highlights contrarian scientific research on global warming. Legislators hope to undermine the public perception of a widespread consensus among polar bear researchers that warming global temperatures and melting Arctic ice threaten the polar bears' survival.

Remember, it's not a lie if you belive its true...and get some scientists to concoct evidence.
