With the news of Willie Soon’s fossil-fuel-funded career featured on the front page of The New York Times on Sunday, there’s no time like the present to take a look at all of Soon’s friends in the anti-science climate denial echo chamber.

Where to begin? Well, theย climate denial think tankย Heartland Instituteย graciously created a poster of 58 โ€œexpertsโ€ who reject theย 97% consensusย on climate change science. Heartland’s posterย โ€” which Sen. James Inhofe (R-Denial) used as a prop in a recent Senate floor speech attacking climate change as a โ€œhoaxโ€ again โ€” features the โ€œ58 Expertsโ€ the climate deniers love to promote.

So, DeSmog remixed the Heartland 58 poster with more accurate bios of the 58ย so the public can judge whether to believe theย fossil-fuel-funded Heartland Instituteย or theย overwhelming scientific consensus.
