Could Chaffetz Beat Hatch in Utah?

Daniella Gibbs Leger comments on the lack of diversity at the climate denier conference in D.C. in Politico.

On June 30, a group of climate science deniers will participate in the Heartland Institute’s International Conference on Climate Change in D.C. Their opening keynote address will be delivered by the Senate’s chief denier, Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK). No surprise there. Looking at their speakers list, even I am surprised as the astonishing lack of diversity. Not a single woman and almost no people of color.
