RW Think-Tank Bribes Congressional Reps to attend Climate Denier Conference
If there is a sweeter deal for Republican Senator "global warming is hoax" Inhofe I don't know what it would be.

DeSmogBlog has received the details of an invitation that has apparently gone out to elected officials promising them "lodging and pay for up to two (2) nights of accommodation," in New York if they would like to attend the Heartland Institute's "International Climate Change Conference."

And if that isn't enough, elected officials who are a member of the Heartland's "Legislative Forum," will also receive an extra bonus of $300 to cover travel expenses.

-snip-

The Heartland Institute, a Chicago-based "think" tank with a cozy relationship with the energy sector describes the conference as, "... the first major international conference to focus on issues and questions not answered by advocates of the theory of man-made global warming."
