California touts new warming law as boon to economy

Their testimony came in the third in a series of hearings Senator Barbara Boxer, chair of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, is holding prior to drafting national legislation. On March 21, former Vice President Al Gore, whose movie on global warming recently won an Oscar for documentary films, will appear before her committee.

Boxer had hoped California's forecast of a huge financial dividend from controlling emissions would help soothe the discontent of some committee Republicans skeptical about global warming and fearful of the impact curbs will have on the economy.

What's next?

In Washington, the powers that be are considering a plan for carbon emissions that targets changes in the climate as well as global warming. The plan could end up costing the United States economy from 1.8 million all the way up to 2.4 million jobs over the next twenty years. Many lawyers are answering questions everyday from clients who are concerned about the plans that the Obama administration and the Democrats to put fees and caps on pollution and carbon emission. The bill could cost consumers a great deal. It is estimated that the average household by 2020 could lose as much as $250 each year.

About the climate cover-up

About the climate cover-up

Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.

There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.

Although all public relations professionals are bound by a duty to not knowingly mislead the public, some have executed comprehensive campaigns of misinformation on behalf of industry clients on issues ranging from tobacco and asbestos to seat belts.

Lately, these fringe players have turned their efforts to creating confusion about climate change. This PR campaign could not be accomplished without the compliance of media as well as the assent and participation of leaders in government and business.
