So it seems that Late Night with David Letterman is looking for climate skeptics to have some editing fun with — along the lines of this (suffer through about a minute of weak shtick before it gets to the template package this fellow apparently does).

As I noted to the producer in an email, we must really be getting under someone’s skin to finally warrant A-list efforts at mockery — she’s gone silent since I let on about having no illusions that they want to laugh along with us — though, after watching that clip of the individual she cited as the interviewer I see maybe it’s not so A-list. For those who are interested, they tape Monday, for airing at some later date.

Hey, it’s Letterman.

Still . . . nah. Risk a “live” show and we can talk. Though, as I discovered with The Daily Show (and Jonah discovered in spades), that’s aggressively edited. Their editing of my interview was minimal but substantive: they cut out my faith-shattering point about Europe’s CO2 emissions not dropping but rising, faster than ours since Kyoto. Not entertaining by any means, but it was the conclusion of the argument I had just made.
