A long story by AP on AGW "deniers." However, they had no room to discuss the actual theories of the deniers. Just that they tend to be increasingly right-wing. It does talk about the "millions of dollars" spent by ExxonMobil and others to fund "denier" research, but does not discuss the billions of dollars in government grants used to fund (and direct) pro-AGW research.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Climate change has already provoked debate in a U.S. presidential campaign barely begun. An Associated Press journalist draws on decades of climate reporting to offer a retrospective and analysis on global warming and the undying urge to deny.
The Australian
scholar Hamilton sought to explain why in his 2010 book, "Requiem for a
Species: Why We Resist the Truth About Climate Change."
In an interview,
he said he found a "transformation" from the 1990s and its
industry-financed campaign, to an America where climate denial "has now
become a marker of cultural identity in the 'angry' parts of the United
States."
