With Friends Like These....

There is a group out there called the "Friends of Science" (FOS). They were formed for the sole purpose of denying the science behind climate change and the Kyoto protocol. On their website they state:

Friends of Science is a non-profit organization made up of active and retired engineers, earth scientists and other professionals, as well as many concerned Canadians, who believe the science behind the Kyoto Protocol is questionable. Friends of Science has assembled a scientific advisory board of esteemed climate scientists from around the world to offer a critical mass of current science on global climate and climate change to policy makers, and any interested parties.

For the real story behind these guys, DE SMOG BLOG has a running list of articles about FOS that is required reading for anyone running into climate change deniers. You can find it here: http://www.desmogblog.com/friends-of-science
