So many hightlights. Stewart slams the ludicrous "CO2, we call it life" ads by the Competitive Enterprise Institute and Sen.James "global warming is a hoax" Inhofe. Enjoyable viewing on a Friday afternoon!
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.

Hiya Kevin,
Enjoyed your post.
May I suggest that you and other DeSmogBloggers post your blog entries on The Canadian Blog Exchange (http://canconv.boundbygravity.com/)? I'm not affiliated with it, but the more Greens who post on there regularly, the more our blog entries will come out on top, and be read by non-Greens.
Cheers!
