Remember how people keep citing lists of scientists that don't believe in global warming?

Well one of the more famous ones is the Heartland Institute one, that you can read about here:

Well, tl;dr forty five of them basically said they had no idea what the fuck the Institute was talking about.

Further Googling leads to: Heartland Institute is headed by executives of ExxonMobile and Phillip Morris (their other causes include convincing everyone that ciggarette smoke isn't dangerous), a handful of the people on the list are either dead or made-up, and one of them is an astrologist (if you're wondering, that's the horoscope kind, not the universe-studying kind), whose credentials on the subject can probably be doubted a little.

tl;dr of tl;dr Jason's procrastinating on hw and Googling stuff.

Cigarrettes, Mac & Cheese, and a total denial of whats happening to the planet! Gotta love it!
