ExxonSecrets and the Slick 60 Climate Change Denial Gang
DeSmogBlog reader Patrick Arnell very kindly spent a great deal of time connecting 20 of the more infamous signatories to Canadian climate change denial petition to the institutes and funding agencies that pay for their opinions. The resulting map is available here. Just "skip intro" and you'll be taken to the map, which shows pretty clearly what a complex web we're dealing with!
Thanks to Patrick and, as always, to Exxonsecrets.org for this excellent resource.





Argh, it's behind the"Flash" barrier -- can you prevail on them?
You're in PR, you may be able to convince them (I've tried, no response) -- putting everything behind a barrier that limits access only to people with the latest "Flash" software is very counterproductive if they want to reach people.
There are too many security risks with Flash. People can't always have their computers wide open to that kind of stuff.
Most smart sites offer a non-flash alternative. Regrettably both Exxonsecrets and the Inconvenient Truth website insist people open up using Flash.
Flash isn't content.
ExxonSecrets.org Flash & html
ExxonSecrets.org has every organization and person fully detailed in html "Fact Sheets" But, the Flash maps are what makes the database sing - letting you illustrate connections between people and orgs graphically.
On front page hit "view html factsheets"
