Alligator shoes

Lucia Liljegren has been discussing the comments made by NASA's James Hansen about "lobbyists in alligator shoes" corrupting the public perception of climate science. 

Google, by means of their nifty contextual ads, have helpfully provided a picture of the aforementioned footwear alongside.

Lobbyists - they're cute and fluffy really.

Now that is what I call a denialist ;)

Yes, I saw that too. I've given him my source now, so we'll see what he has to say.
