LET US NOW PRAISE FAMOUS MEN

 THE  HEARTLAND  AWARDS

Noted Las Vegas patron of the arts and advertising man Joe Bast bids us congratulate the good and great souls who have done for climate science in 2014 what the White Sox did to the World Series in 1919:

I am writing to ask you to send notes of congratulations to those persons in this list who you know or most admire... You might also consider interviewing one or more of them for articles, op-eds, feature stories, blog posts, radio interviews, and so on... 

If we hold another ICCC after this one… that could be the occasion for more awards. Or better yet, some other think tank can get off its lazy butt step up and recognize other heroes of the climate wars. The global warming “skeptics” movement has emerged over the years as a real force for good in the world,...

Instead of naming an award after the 96 year old physicist badgered to death in the runup to the first conference-- Heartland Fellow Fred Singer has never produced the manuscript of the late Frederick Seitz's supposed endorsement of Heartland's egregious NIPCC report, and the cataract-stricken nonagenarian's faithful secretary denies he ever drafted one-- why doesn't Bast pick on someone his own age, and celebrate  the careers of Heartland's own 'Senior Fellows' & fans?
