Our friends at Zaproot video have been great supporters of DeSmogBlog over the years and so we want to return the favor. They have been nominated for a Webby Award in the area of Best Online Film and Video and I can’t think of anyone who deserves it better than this dedicated team of Greens!
So please take a moment and vote for them on the Webby Award site. Once you’ve logged in to vote, go to this link to quickly and easily find their entry.
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.
