Oops.
Do you want more Supreme Court justices like Ruth Bader Ginsburg or do you want more justices like Brett Kavanaugh?

A Climate Change Poll Goes Horribly Wrong
But first, this message from the poll sponsors;
A large group of Canadian climate scientists, environment advocates, business owners and corporate executives want climate change to be the No. 1 issue for voters this fall, including problems and solutions beyond the federal carbon tax.
A hundred of them signed an open letter to Canadians this week, urging them to understand the impacts of climate change and the solutions each party offers before casting their ballots in October.
Those behind the letter fear important discussions about climate change are being lost in the sea of political rhetoric for or against a national carbon price.
“It’s a national emergency,” said Gavin Pitchford, the CEO of recruiting firm Delta Management and executive director of Clean50.

Update: Harmless. All of the devices carried a parody ISIS flag featuring comedian Larry the Cable Guy’s signature slogan, “git ‘er done,” NBC News reported late Wednesday.
Er.. yeah.
I’m not sure this event rises to the level of hoax, much less false flag. I’m leaning towards “prank”, myself.
