I love it: The conservative National Review is planning a cruise to Alaska. Of course, plenty of magazines do fundraising cruises — but not a lot of them take a boatload of global warming deniers to Alaska, where glaciers are becoming puddles due to climate change.
Speakers on the cruise include William Rusher, who calls global warming the “Big Daddy of all…scare stories,” Jonah Goldberg, who says the campaign against climate change a is “half-baked environmental jihad that could waste possibly trillions of dollars,” and Robert Bork, who sided with the Bush administration in last year’s Supreme Court showdown on global warming.
The cruise’s first destination? Glacier Bay — where glaciers are very visibly on the retreat (check out the photo above, and this NASA video.) I’d love to be a fly on the wall during that stop.
