From haunting the library:
Reuters: Republican Party �Actively Caused Climate Collapse�
Reuters News Agency is carrying an extraordinary article claiming that the Republican Party �actively caused climate collapse� and that it is �in the pay of the fossil energy industry�.

The highly unusual story is ostensibly on the subject of the tax that the Australian government plans to levy to cover the costs of the floods in Queensland, but soon veers off into what can most charitably be described as a rambling diatribe on global warming and how the Republicans caused it.
The post then goes on to quote from the Reuters article. It is so poorly written and error filled as to almost be hallucinogenic. A bit more:
The by-line notes that the piece was provided by the �Matter Network�. The Matter Network Inc.�s �About� page boasts that it has �recently [been] selected as a leading content provider to Reuters� Green Business News Service�.
The post then reveals the members of the board of Matter Network:
ADVISORY BOARD
R. James Woolsey: Partner, Vantage Point Venture Partners, former Director, Central Intelligence Agency
Suzanne Woolsey: Chairman, Rocky Mountain Institute, Former COO, National Academy of Science
Reese Schonfeld: Co-Founder and former President, CNN
J. Scott Briggs: Former President, ZIff-Davis Publishing
Barry Briggs: Former President, C/Net Media
Mike Edelhart: Serial Internet Media Entrepreneur, former CEO Zineo, Executive VP, Ziff Davis Publishing
Quite the A-list of people. This is not a Science or Green group; it is a group that is pushing a very toxic political agenda.
