An environmental advocacy group backed by hedge fund tycoon Tom Steyer is set to unleash a seven-state, $100 million offensive against Republican "science deniers" this year, a no-holds-barred campaign-style push from the green billionaire that could help decide which party controls the Senate and key statehouses come November.
The Steyer-backed outside group, NextGen Climate, has billed itself as a progressive, pro-environment counterbalance to the wealthy oil and gas industry -- as well as the primary foil to the pro-business Koch brothers and their well-funded conservative donor network.
The outfit, launched last year by the San Francisco billionaire, has already pledged to spend heavily this midterm year in Iowa to assist the Democratic Senate nominee Bruce Braley, and in Florida, where Gov. Rick Scott is facing a difficult re-election fight against Democrat Charlie Crist.
Steyer's 2014 map now includes Senate races in Michigan, New Hampshire and Colorado as well as governor's races in Maine and Pennsylvania, home to two of the most endangered Republican governors in the country, Paul LePage and Tom Corbett.

NextGen Climate created by OPEC ?
He’s really going to be successful with that 2% that see the environment as the most important issue and already vote Democrat.
“Green billionaire”??
hahahaha
A 10 year old ADD kid fried on Ritalin could box any green into a corner given the opportunity. So the question is, why can’t ‘normal’ right wing adults in political power do it?
I mean does it really matter how much money this idiot throws out the window? It is meaningless to an unreceptive audience.
I predict he will be successful..cause TOO much of the MSM is already there..and he will be the perfect MOUTHPIECE for them.
Pennsylvanians want their coal and the Keystone Pipeline, so lots of luck, Mr. Steyers. This is not about the environment; it’s about Steyer’s investment in so-called green energy.

Looks like he’s pissing in the wind with this tour.
Tom Steyer —filthy elitist pig!
If the environazis get all their Cap n’ Trade laws into place, only billionaires will be able to afford a non-sub third world lifestyle.
What a disgusting waste of human energy and money.
I wonder how many starving kids could be feed with the money he’s wasting promoting a totalitarian hoax?
He must be filled with hate for the “little people”

Good analogy!
It begs the question:
“If your so rich, how come you’re not smart?”
Only the wealthy can afford to be green after all. The middle and lower classes are being crushed by it.
Maybe this billionaire should seek out the Wizard of Oz and see if he can purchase a brain.
Billionaire astrologer funds attack on anti-science astronomers.
I am sure he didn’t deal with any ungreen corporations when he was into hedge funds, lol.
Climate “science” is not science because climate “science” does not employ the scientific method.
And “consensus” of non-scientific collectivist “scientists” is mob rule.
From global warming to string theory, there is no science now.
If so, it would be easy to turn this little gambit around on him.
Just a thought.

“Climate Science” is the religion of the left.
It’s a modern war of religion.
Every socialist revolution needs its equivalent of “the jews”.
This time around it is those who know “climate change” is a gigantic scam.
