the actions of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce today. The chamber, by far the largest lobbying force on Capitol Hill — having spent more than $65 million in 2009 — is actively campaigning against meaningful climate change legislation.

"Back in May I wrote about how the US Chamber was losing friends fast with its ‘head in sand’ position on climate change. Since then things have seriously started to descend into farce.
