Is Nitpicking and Red Herrings all the denial machine has left?

Laurie David has a piece on Huffington Post [1] today outlining just how desperate the climate denial industry has gotten.

This latest salvo comes from none other than Rob Ferguson and the Science and Public Policy Institute (SPPI). [2] Since leaving the oil-industry backed and former Philip Morris sponsored [3] Frontiers of Freedoms, Ferguson and the SPPI have been aggressively promoting the denialist message.

In a related, but separate matter, [4] Ferguson has been reticent to respond to my emails regarding his involvement in the recent online campaign to discredit the fine work of Dr. Naomi Oreskes.

Guess he's too busy reading children's books.
