The New Flat Earth Society is officially meeting in London England to respond to the UN Global Warming report issued by the IPCC in Paris.
And its all paid for by Exxon Mobil.
And it is a tax write off because they are a registered as a charity in Canada and the United States. Yep your tax dollars help pay for this right wing drivel.
Their sypmathisers at the National Pest round up the usual suspects to be 'objective' in their reporting on global warming. If being objective means quoting folks about why the world is flat.
These guys are the grass roots base of the Harper government so the fact the New Canadian Government opposes Kyoto should come as no surprise.
And just because they have scientists on their side don't forget so did these guys;
The Flat Earth Society was founded in 1956 by Samuel Shenton, a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and the Royal Geographic Society, as a successor to the 19th century Universal Zetetic Society. The Flat Earth Society devised detailed arguments, based on scientific observations and references to the Bible, to support their claim that the Earth is a motionless disc not an orbiting globe.

Whooee! I'm startin' t' feel sorry fewr the climate change deniers, GeneFeller. It's like their whole belief system is gettin' kicked out from under 'em. It's a little cruel t' be mean t' the pore delusional fellers an' gals who's been led 'round by the nose by big oil an' the HarpoonTossers.
