Update to Shawn Lawrence Otto’s post of Prof. Scott Mandia’s “Open Letter to State Farm about Climate Denial”:

At 6:30PM CT on May 7, State Farm announced on their facebook site that they were severing all ties with the Heartland Institute. “State Farm is ending its association with the Heartland Institute,” the insurance company stated. “This is because of a recent billboard campaign launched by the Institute.” Count that as a win for mainstream science and reason.
