Big Climate Flops Out :: SteynOnline



by Mark Steyn   Steyn on America  November 5, 2014



I wouldn't be surprised if Tom Steyer, Big Climate's Daddy Warmbucks, woke up this morning with the all-time worst dose of "climate depression". Sample headline:
Tom Steyer Spent $74 Million on the Election. He Didn't Get Much to Show for It.
He blew through that $74 million in order to make "climate change" the winning wedge issue for beleaguered Democrats. How'd that work out?
Colorado was a prime battleground for Steyer's Super PAC and other environmentalist groups, but Gardner bested Udall by a 4.2 percent margin on Tuesday.

Udall was one of the few vulnerable Senate Democratic incumbents who refused to publicly back the Keystone XL pipeline, opposition to which was Steyer's litmus test for his sizable financial support... Steyer's Super PAC poured money into the Colorado Senate race, the bulk of which was used to attack Gardner.

NextGen Climate Action, one of the election cycle's most active and well-funded Super PACs, spent more than $5.5 million in the race, nearly 15 percent of all outside spending on Udall's behalf.

The group had 68 staffers working in the state.
Wow. Sixty-eight staffers just in Colorado! Maybe Tom Steyer could redeploy them to Michael E Mann's legal team in the upcoming Mann vs Steyn trial of the century.
