I am a global warming denier. I AM a global warming denier. I am a global warming DENIER! ... Huummmh … there is no wrong way to say it. The Wall Street Journal prints an Extortion Letter and exposes the players.

Global Warming Gag Order: Washington has no shortage of bullies, but even we can't quite believe an October 27 letter that Senators Jay Rockefeller and Olympia Snowe sent to ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson. Its message: Start toeing the Senators' line on climate change, or else.

SAY IT LOUD – I’M WARM AND PROUD.
