I particularly got a kick out of the last paragraph......
"The whole notion of conferences is antiquated,” Stahl said. “I don’t have to leave the computer to interact with anybody I want. And when the major theme of the conference was going to be effects of climate change on wildfire, isn’t the single most damaging thing an individual can do is to jump in an airplane and fly across the country?”
Suddenly you believe the gov't?
C'mon. They were kept from speaking because of the climate change angle. Most of the agencies dealing with Climate Change have done this, then used stupid things like "it wasn't us, it was the budget!" as an excuse.
