The Trib Takes On Forecast The Facts

The anti-science Braintrust attempts to defend anti-science meteorologists today.  Unfortunately (for them) they stumble into their own contradiction.  But we'll get to that in a sec.

First they play the Soros card:

An effort backed by extreme-left billionaire George Soros to restore the deservedly dwindling credibility of "science" distorted to serve anti-growth politics is targeting TV meteorologists who don't buy the global-warming orthodoxy.

The deceptively named Forecast the Facts campaign's website says it's "led by 350.org, the League of Conservation Voters and the Citizen Engagement Lab ... ." But it doesn't say that Mr. Soros' Open Society Foundations gave Citizen Engagement Lab a two-year, $300,000 grant in 2010.

Curious how a coterie that routinely bypasses any mention of how their own billionaire boss routinely funds some of the  biggest climate science deniers (Heritage Foundation - $23 million+ of Scaife money) seems to be offended when someone else's billionaire boss grants money to science defenders.  How surprising is that?
