Speech at the Heartland Institute    Here is the query that
elicited Diane Bast's incurious response:    The Heartland
Institute (right-wing "think tank" with ties to the tobacco and
oil industries) is inviting scientists to a 'conference' called
"The 2008 International Conference on Climate Change".
Fern Mackenzie  Al Gore spoke for free?? It's about time. His
outrageous speaking fees have convinced many he is into this
whole thing a lot more for the money and himself and not so much
for the environment.  You just can't win with this sort of
double-edged "logic".  If Gore didn't take up Heartland's
invitation, then he was obviously a coward.  If Gore did take up
Heartland's invitation, then he was in it just for the money.
If Gore did take up Heartland's invitation but turned away the
money, then he was just doing it for show.  ... Well, Gore was
right in simply ignoring these idiots(*)
