The problem with a giant con game like global warming hysteria is that the baseline dishonesty ends up corrupting other institutions. Academia is pre-eminent among the collateral corruptees, but even a Native American tribe in genuine peril is in on the game. Willis Eschenbach provides the ugly details at Watts Up With That?

Give them Mt. Rainier. It is high enough to survive the rising seas.
Good scam by the Quinalts. They are a fishing tribe and less then 1,500 of them live in their “Nation”. Maybe they can weave baskets in central Nevada...
Sea Level Bump
Fraud, hoax, and scam.
