And Now A Word from Our Sponsor

I hope Bill Buckley and George Orwell are comparing notes:

Among the 52 organizations, Good , Bad,  & Ugly lending their  503C's to the  claim that next weeks New York conference on the climate non-crisis is  not  funded [directly] by corporations, is one I have celebrated : but whose largess I somehow never expected to receive:

"The Discovery Institute
Discovery Institute is a non-partisan public policy think tank conducting research on technology, science and culture, economics, and foreign affairs. Its mission is to make a positive vision of the future practical. It discovers and promotes ideas in the common-sense tradition of representative government, the free market, and individual liberty. Its mission is promoted through books, reports, legislative testimony, articles, public conferences..."

To that mandate may be added the subsidy of seriously screwing around  with scientific content .the
self explanatory title of my presentation  ' Fossil Hydrogen ', on how shifting fuel sources could mitigate CO2 emissions per kilowatt hour was transformed without my advice or consent  into:

'Coal Power Not at Odds with Reducing Carbon Emissions'

Huh ? It's about closing down  a quarter of the coal mines in existence.
Read the beta version here and compare it with the  bogus title printed in the program of a  conference whose sessions ironically includes

Business & Media Institute Roundtable Panel:
Global Warming Censored

Since  1/52 of the  conference honorarium is  $19.23 , and it costs $ 9.95 a month to run this place , entry-level  Philanthropists may send me a 31 cent monthly  subvention  to earn a coveted  Adamant Distinguished  Discovery Fellowship, and standing room at my next lecture on the subject. In  forlorn hope of a happier relabeling malfunction,its working title is Coal Tar: Key To Peace In The Holy Land ,

Russell,

The cartoon character from your Cambridge neighbor, the late Al Capp's Li'l Abner is "Joe BTFSPLK," not as you have it spelled.

Al told me the name is pronounced "like a fart."
RESPONSE
Foreshame, Mr. Barth-- what if there are ladies reading?
Al Capp may have pronounced it so, but that does not justify the use of his licentious spelling in these pages.

[Henry Barth]

"Licentious spelling?"

Surely you meant to write "licentious pronunciation?"

The English word 'f*rt' is one of the oldest words in the English vocabulary.

At least as far back as Chaucer.
RESPONSE
I recall Mr.Capp's rise in reputation during the vogue of Warhol and Lichtenstein's comic strip pop art, but he fell meteorically, charged with crimes worthy of a Massachusetts Congressman. Too bad-- he would have made a worthy Ambassador to Slobbovia.

Those who are highly responsible for the current carbon levels in the atmosphere are really trying their best and utilizing their resources to divert us to the real issue!
