"Google, Facebook, and Microsoft have publicly acknowledged the dangers of global warming, but last week they all sponsored a conference that promoted climate change denial to young libertarians.
All three tech companies were sponsors of LibertyCon, the annual convention of the libertarian group Students for Liberty, which took place in Washington, DC. Google was a platinum sponsor, ponying up $25,000, and Facebook and Microsoft each contributed $10,000 as gold sponsors. The donations put the tech companies in the top tier of the event’s backers. But the donations also put the firms in company with some of the event’s other sponsors, which included three groups known for their work attacking climate change science and trying to undermine efforts to reduce carbon emissions."

I posted this for several reasons:
1) HuffPo is none too pleased such things happen at all.
2) Reading HuffPo's (Mother Jones) loaded reporting is a hoot.
3) The speaker was a heretic - true left-wing but not an alarmist. Oh they hate that.
4) It appears the estimable Chuck Todd and his recommendation to censor climate realism was ignored.
