The Heartland Institute spouting lies about climate change

The global warming conference where skeptics think they’re winning the debate.
The annual International Climate Change Conference, which this year runs Thursday and Friday, just steps from Capitol Hill, is like an alternate universe…

During the event, one can hear from a handful of leading climate skeptics on how the sun is really responsible for driving climate variability, how extreme precipitation events are just an artifact of poor data measurements and how federal scientists are manipulating data to manufacture spurious warming trends.

Most importantly, one can hear from senior Republican lawmakers about how they plan to stop the Obama administration’s climate regulations and scientific research agenda.

The conference is put together by the Heartland Institute, a free-market think tank based in Chicago, which in the past has received significant funding from the oil industry.
