WELCOME TO THE CLIMATE WARS : POPULATION 34

While Watts and Monckton talked of a dark Green conspiracy to rob them of millions of web hits,  the viewer statistics at the Heartland Institute Conference where they voiced their accusations were telling a very different story.
Given the Heartland confab's modest attendance, counting the audience of its  presentations  leads to a  disconcerting  conclusion: the few dozen souls listening live in  Las Vegas often  outnumbered the events's global webcast audience -- a species of disappointment all too familiar to the organizers of Al Gore's Reality Project telethon.

Though many enlisting in the Climate Wars have met the enemy only to discover that they is us, it's always  disconcerting to find out that we has us outnumbered.
