Climate Change: Ideology vs. Corporate Pragmatism

Look here for an analysis of the Bush administration's deepening isolation on climate change - even the business community is taking another side.

But be warned, the piece is authored by Eugene Linden, whose book The Winds of Change: Climate, Weather and the Destruction of Civilizations is currently winning rave reviews. That either makes Linden an impressive expert in the field, whose well-researched earlier work is winning professional acclaim, or a left-wing ideologue. Read the book before you decide.

How Unconventional Gas Threatens our Water, Health, and Climate

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.
