They say life is what happens while you're busy making plans. This past Thursday I was waylaid by the fact that Americans for Prosperity has invaded our little eastern slope Colorado town with the intention of removing a much liked County Commissioner because she shows concern for the local environment and believes the Oil Industry should take responsible for their own messes, though she's never voted against a well permit. She is simply too green for Koch's agenda. Next they want to kill a long overdue and much worked on county land-use code.
Of course, I'm familiar with Americans for Prosperity on account of my climate science work, but I've always avoided focusing on them because they were too big a wormhole for me. But, they made it personal and I figure it's important for my neighbors to have a thorough collection of information available in one place. I'll get back to CSC when it settles down.
After a weekend of research Americans for (Koch's) Prosperity.blogspot.com was created these past few days.
Since the Koch's spend millions of dollars denying fundamental climate science along with many other things, I think it's appropriate to also post my index over here. Perhaps it will be of some use to someone.
