************************************** ABSTRACT: In my discussion-list post "Senator Sheldon Whitehouse - Time to Wake Up: GOP Opposition to Climate Science" at <http://yhoo.it/100EVIY> I wrote: "Unfortunately, Democrats in Congress are almost as unenlightened as Republicans." In response, a subscriber wrote to me: "In case anyone missed this excellent dissection of climate science opposition, here's why Demos are apparently 'unenlightened': ['Frontline - Climate of Doubt' (PBS, 2012)] at <http://to.pbs.org/192dOxE>."

[In 2008] we had really a very broad coalition of people who believed that we ought to move forward [on climate change legislation] and do something. But as the [2012} campaign and the fear built up, people began to retreat. [Conservative organizations] spent huge sums of money IN A CAMPAIGN OF MAJOR DISINFORMATION. . . .[[My CAPS]. . . . that had a profound impact. And it has now made many people in public life very gunshy because they're afraid of having those amounts of money spent against them. . . . . .There's nothing like a loss in an election. . . . .[ as for Bob Ingliss of South Carolina, defeated by BIG $$ from conservative organizations]]. . . . . to promote fear in the survivors.
