The CEI is pro-dolphin
19-May-2006Prominent AstroTurf organization CEI has issued some television ads that have some people convinced that The Onion is signaling its intention to move to television. The ad campaign is titled “CO2: they call it pollution, we call it life!”

We are in the MIDDLE of a warming cycle, that still has +5 degrees C to go. Of course we are seeing global warming.
