Say, the pic's not great

Say, the pic's not great (kinda dark), but I recognized Bill's mug as I had just watched the documentary "Everything's Cool" which included prominently Bill as well as Ross Gelbspan, on CBC Newsworld's The Passionate Eye.

Here's the documentary's website: http://www.everythingscool.org/about.htm

Odd, I hadn't noticed any mention of it here.

It's being rebroadcast at 1 am EST on Newsworld in case any night owls in canada read this (40 min from now)

Worth watching. Hey DeSmogBlog, keep an eye out for these types of shows, and let us know.

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.
