Almost fifteen years ago, I set my home page and have left it there ever since.  I\u2019m completely used to it.  I took the Bing Challenge<\/em> and Bing lost.  It wasn\u2019t even close.  So for me to change my home page to anything but Google, would have required something very important.  I changed my home page this morning.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"7Google\"Google\u2019s motto is \u201cDon\u2019t Be Evil,\u201d but it is supporting one of the worst deniers of climate science in the world: Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK). On July 11, Google is hosting a lunchtime $250-$2500 a plate fundraiser<\/a> for Inhofe with the National Republican Senatorial Committee at its Washington, DC headquarters at 1101 New York Ave NW.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post also recently revealed that Google was the biggest single donor<\/a> to the Competitive Enterprise Institute\u2019s annual dinner on Thursday, June 20, dropping $50,000 in support of this anti-science group. The dinner was headlined by radical global warming denier Sen. Rand Paul. CEI\u2019s other donors include a who\u2019s who of polluters: American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, Altria (Phillip Morris), Koch Companies, and Koch\u2019s Americans For Prosperity. CEI is famed for its ad promoting carbon dioxide emissions: \u201cThey call it pollution. We call it life<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cCO2 does not cause catastrophic disasters<\/a>,\u201d Sen. Inhofe claimed in 2003, the first time of many he call global warming a \u201choax\u201d on the Senate floor. \u201cActually, it would be beneficial to our environment and the economy.\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The news has been so dominated by Egypt and the Republican War on Women, that finding recent video on climate change proved difficult.  I did, however, find a rare occurrence in which Cenk Uygur, on balance, actually supports Obama.<\/font><\/p>\n
