Anthony Watts and Anthony A. Lewis did the hard work in connecting the operation to smear TV meteorologists who do not follow the Warmist doctrine to all sorts of hard left progressive organizations. Quite frankly, I simply assumed that they were. It’s funny, Warmists are calling for a climate realist think tank to be forced to reveal their funding sources. And Watts and Lewis find this
Forecastthefacts.org (operated by Citizen Engagement Lab) is a George Soros funded activist website. Here’s the proof (h/t to WUWT reader Jan)
No one should be shocked. Nor should they be shocked that Watts and Lewis see that the domain registration is being hidden, as typically happens with left win groups, one of the reasons I didn’t even bother. But, they find that a reverse IP lookup shows tons of links to lefty groups such as Occupy Homes and Turn of Fox, among others. And, of course they’re linked to the hyper-partisan 350.org, which initially backed the 1010 video of “denier” kids being blown up.
Nice detective work by WUWT! I had a feeling the “usual suspects” were behind this latest attempt to enforce “consensus.”
It was, wasn’t it? I love that Liberals who hate things being non-transparent typically hide who owns their domains and such.
Consider OccupyWallSt.com. Much of their information is protected, and their address is in L.A. (?). Know where? At a Regis corporate office suite.
Need to keep an eye on their domain, which is set to expire in July 2012, snap it up if possible.
