The discredited Heartland Institute's annual climate denial festival is going on this week in Las Vegas. While we don't expect any big stories to break there, it will be interesting to see if they conference receives any attention from outside the conservative media and deneirsphere.
Media Matters has a great story already, framed around the city's reputation as a hub for comedy and Heartland's reputation for being hysterically backwards on the science of climate change. They also have a list of the speakers, along with brief bios featuring each speaker's (limited) credentials and a particularly illuminating quote.
Tellingly, the conference's main co-sponsor in Vegas is the FreedomFest, a Libertarian event going on concurrently and offering Heartland conference attendees a free screening of the debut of the film Atlas Shrugged 3: Where is John Galt?
