From Frontline comes an article detailing how The Heartland Institute is sending copies of Why Scientists Disagree About Global Warming, with an accompanying DVD, to 25,000 public school science teachers every 2 weeks until every teacher has a copy. Unsurprisingly, The Heartland Institute publication rejects:
“the human role in climate change ... arguing instead that rising temperatures have been caused primarily by natural phenomena.”
You can find the entire Frontline article here. The Heartland Institute is sending these books out now, and science teachers are already starting to get this junk mail at their schools.
But there’s a tried and true way to deal with unwanted junk mail!
The U.S. Post Office FAQ regarding unwanted/unsolicited mail states:
- If you have not opened the mailpiece, you may mark it "Return to Sender," and the United States Postal Service will return it with no additional charge to you.
Depending on how they’re sending out these books, The Heartland Institute could lose money on return postage. This is money that can be put to much better use by the USPS than by global change deniers.
