   moderate a 10:20 AM panel discussion on climate change

   Not to belabor the point, but this progressive conference couldn’t find a more qualified moderator?

   Mr. Yglesias should inform us as to who else is on the panel. Mr. Yglesias has no scientific credentials whatever to pontificate on this issue.

   Ingoing to the web site linked to below, I find no evidence that any of the speakers have any expertise whatever in climate science, based on the rather brief summaries provided. This would seem to be about as authoritative as a conference session with Matt Moreno and his acolytes.

   I really doubt they’re going to debate the existance of climate change.

   If the panel is about political strategy to bring about remediation of climate change, the “subject matter expertise” required would not be climatology, it would be politics, legislative process, grass-roots activism etc.

   Matt, while you’re there, if you run into their graphics designer, please suggest they incorporate more fonts and exclamation points and colors. Thanks.

   “Kari Futon”
   Well, that name certainly suggests possibilities. Hope Matthew takes her rebuttals ..er.. lying down.

   Oh..”Fulton”. My mistake. Shouldn’t comment without my reading glasses.

   Matthew, you might want to urge Obama to add vision care to the Healthcare plan.

   No use spending $Trillions on Social Security to pander to the old farts if we can’t read the motherfucking ballots when the election rolls by.
