There were people who wanted to make sure this event didn't go off as planned, and I'm very proud it was able to go off despite the change of venue," said Drew Johnson, president of Tennessee Center for Policy Research, a libertarian think tank that partnered in the launch.

yes, global warming alarmism. must be the same science that's used to float that balloon!

I cannot wait to see this skewered on the Colbert Report.

C'mon. As much as I'd like to see reasonable debate and analysis on this, the people causing the trouble are the biggest idiots of all. Among other things, hey're trying to blame the current high cost of gas on the people who want global warming investigated.

Now that's stupidity and fear-mongering in action. It doesn't take a rocket-scientist to figure out the cost increase is 100% corporate avarice, but apparently one does need to be smarter than these guys to figure it out.
