Guest Post by: The Competitive Enterprise Institute, The Heartland Institute, the Energy & Environmental Legal Institute, the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, and the International Climate Science Coalition, and Truth in Energy and Climate.

To paraphrase the Washington Post masthead, “Democracy dies in darkness”: Climate alarm dies in sunshine.
