I honestly hadn't registered that Snowe was a Republican. (My only excuse is that I'm not an American).
So I wonder why we haven't seen anything about it? ;)

"I challenge you to withdraw or resign because your letter is the latest in what appears to be an internationally-coordinated series of maladroit and malevolent attempts to silence the voices of scientists and others who have sound grounds, rooted firmly in the peer- reviewed scientific literature..."
I had a paper copy of the article right in front of me when this came up in FR :0)
His article is devastating to the much-touted IPCC hockey-stick graph. There is an appended scientific paper on CO2 forcing which is over my head for casual reading, but the rest is extremely useful.
"Churchillian" is not an adjective that ought to be flung about loosely, but I think in this case it does apply.
This congress will make new attempts to silence conservative 'talk-radio' too.

Al Gore, who was Vice-President when the Senate declared 97-0 that it would not ratify any treaty that did not bind fast-growing, heavily-polluting nations such as China, India, Indonesia and Brazil (because without them no action by the West would make any difference) wrote a reply to my article saying that I should not be discussing these matters in the Press. He said I should rely on peer-reviewed research in journals such as Science, Nature and Geophysical Research Letters.
Within 12 hours, I had published a 24-page refutation of his scientifically-inaccurate article, citing more than 60 references in learned journals. Twenty-five of the citations were from the three journals he mentioned.
"Deniers". What rubbish. If only politicians had a sense of shame. These people are poisoning the political atmosphere with their misuse of the English language.
This guy is a hero in my book.
Way to go Lord Monckton!
Exxon-Mobil is a great company and I encourage ALL to patration them as opposed to some pansy 'liberal' companies like BP!
Me too! We could happily get by without either of them.

That was well worth the read. I suggest everyone read the whole letter. Strong stuff!
It sounds strangely like the persecution that many scientists had to endure for claiming that the Earth was not the center of the universe.
