Clearly, I do not endorse sites that have made evidence of global warming into a political fight. If any of these sites takes the evidence gathered about global warming and uses their own evidence and best arguments to discredit the global warming science community's evidence, then I will be impressed and want to know more. Unfortunately, I'm not sure any of them do this. I liken what they are doing to negative political advertising. Although there has been some hope in this year's primaries that negative advertising doesn't always work, people who want to be comforted into thinking global warming is a myth will cling to these resources like a toddler and his "blankie."

I repeat, I would not expect unbiased evidence from these conservative organizations that satirize or otherwise try to discredit the evidence we have about global warming. Any that do deserve my attention, and I hope someone will point to them for me. I post these as a service to those who are trying to understand what we can do about global warming.
