Glenn Beck "Climate of Fear" transcript

Haven't had a chance to comb through this yet, but thought I would post it in the meantime. I will bet anyone $5 that the word "global cooling" come up at least 5 times.

Bios and research on Glenn Beck's global warming disinformation special

Rumour is that shock jock Glenn Beck will host the same old typical handful of global warming deniers on his CNN special tonight. They will no doubt spout the same old arguments like: "I remember when global cooling was all anyone would talk about."

In what is becoming a perfect echo chamber, we see the same small group of mainly industry-funded "experts," running from one ear to the next telling us that global warming is a hoax, and there is nothing to fear.

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.
