Last night, the Americans for Prosperity brought itsHot Air Tour to Kansas City, promising free rides in a 70-foot balloon to raise awareness about “Global Warming Alarmism.”

Annie Patnaude, a spokesperson for the national group that advocates free-market and small government, told us that AFP isn’t saying climate change is a hoax. “We just want to have a real debate,” she said, about how carbon-cutting legislation could impact Americans’ freedom – and more importantly, their wallets.

Because of the wind, they didn’t get airborne. But we did snap a few photos. Click here to view a slideshow.

It is not surprising that the global warming deniers, skeptics and business-firsters generate enough hot air to float a baloon. The wonder is that anyone would take the "protect-our-profits", do nothing, economically motivated, anti-scientific, in-denial position of these corporate sponsored nut-jobs seriously.
