Climate sceptics and fringe political groups are an unhealthy cocktail

Guardian: Proof that professional climate sceptics swim in a narrow, shallow pond was provided last month in Chicago at the Heartland Institute's Fourth International Conference on Climate Change. It turned out to be less Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, more Two Degrees of Lord Monckton. But this month is set to provide further proof that it doesn't take a particularly complex Venn diagram to map the interconnections between the various movers and shakers in the sceptic camp. On 11 June, in Orlando, Florida,...

Joseph's lawsuit claims that the object is a living thing that "germinated from spores," and thus NASA should be compelled to take hundreds of photos from multiple angles, and then send the original photos to Joseph for investigation. Who will blink first? (Hint: Probably not NASA.)
