Republican Global Warming Deniers Funded By Energy Industry
Duh.

Pennsylvania Senate candidate Pat Toomey drew headlines when he said in a local radio interview on Friday, that the degree to which human activity is to blame for global warming is being "very much disputed" and "debated."

It's not the first time he's made the argument.

"There is much debate in the scientific community as to the precise sources of global warming," Toomey claimed in June.

Trolling Opensecrets.org, HuffPost found Toomey's top contributors include oil and coal giants Koch Industries ($15,000) and Murray Energy ($16,655). Those are the top two contributors of climate change skeptic Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) who received $45,500 and $30,600 from those companies respectively.

1. That is not a surprise everything the right wing tea bag nit wits is funded by
corporate money, the nit wits are being lead around by the nose by the very people who got them mad in the first place. Just the nit wits have been fed a steady diet of Reagan nonsense that they refuse to see who really leads them while out sourcing their jobs over sea's.
