Who Is Behind the Conspiracy AgainstClimate Change Science?
During hard economic times, it is difficult to get people to
focus on an environmental issue which seems to have
little immediate bearing on their lives. The publicsweariness with the climate change issue has also been
exacerbated by the endlessly equivocal he said, she
said nature of the coverage itself. In one study of four
leading newspapers (The New York Times, The Wall
Street Journal, The Washington Post and The Los
Angeles Times) over half the articles presented a
scientist on one side and a corporate-friendlyspokesperson (usually a non-scientist) on the other.
Readers are left with the impression that the whole thing
remains a muddle and that it is better to let the experts
sort it out for themselves.

But the question remains: why is the media paying any
attention to the discredited ideas of the denialists? We
dont give Holocaust deniers equal time to vent their
noxious views, so why offer it to the climate change
deniers?
The analogy might seem far-fetched, but the findings of
climate scientists tell us that it is apt. We are facing a
potential holocaust for life on earth, which could destroy
entire ecosystems, turn productive regions into dust
bowls, multiply catastrophic weather events, wipe out a
large proportion of the planets species and cost us more
in dollars (not to mention lives) than all the wars inhistory combined.
You would think that even conservatives would
appreciate the huge economic threat this poses. When
you get right down to it, acting to minimize the effects
of climate change is a quintessentially conservative
cause; it is about conserving the earth and our way of
life for future generations. So, if the real conservatives
are not behind the war against climate science, who is?
Until recently, the groups pushing the denialist agenda
have lain low to avoid public scrutiny. Before they were
outed by a leak of incriminating documents in February,
few had heard of the Heartland Institute. Other big
wheels in the denialist camp include theAmericanPetroleum Institute, theAmerican Enterprise Institute
and you guessed it Charles and David Koch.
A report by Greenpeace revealed that, in the last
decade, the secretive brothers oil and manufacturing

company channeled over $50 million to a number of
front groups that promote skepticism about climate
change.
Thats about double what ExxonMobil is currently
spending to recruit experts to debunk climate science.Nine out of ten of the published papers dismissive of
climate change, according to an analysis conducted by
The Carbon Brief, were penned by authors who had
received cash grants from the oil giant.
One of the most effective, if shadowy, figures in the
denialist camp is the George C. Marshall Institute, which
was set up by a group of cold-warrior scientists in 1984
to lobby against scientific criticism of Ronald Reagans
missile defense system popularly known as Star Wars.
Since then, the Marshall Institute has turned its attention
toward other assaults on mainstream science on issues
ranging from acid rain, the chemical threat to the ozone
layer, the effects of secondhand tobacco smoke and,
most recently, global warming.
In each case, the Institutes goal, according to professor
Naomi Oreskes of the University of California, San
Diego, was to cast enough doubt on the prevailing
science to delay needed legislation and government
regulation for years and even decades.
As Oreskes documented in her book Merchants of
Doubt, many who are fighting this behind-the-scenes
war on climate science are the very same people who
spearheaded earlier efforts of cigarette makers to deny
that smoking was harmful, and they have adopted the

same strategy here - setting up front groups with
grassroots- or scientific- sounding names to confuse the
public about the science.
Now that the Supreme Court has overruled a law that
would have set limits on corporate spending for politicalpurposes, we have become even more vulnerable to
these wolves in sheeps clothing, according to Francesca
Grifo of the Union of Concerned Scientists.
That has opened the gates for corporations often
those associated with coal and oil industries to flood
the market with adverts that support rightwing politiciansand which attack government bodies that impose
environmental regulations that these companies dont
like, Grifo told the Guardian in February. The science
that supports these regulations is attacked as well. That
has made a terrible difference over the past year and it
is now bringing matters to a head.
To make the right decisions about climate change and
how to limit its destructive impacts, Americans need
accurate information, not ideologically motivated
propaganda. Lets hope that the recent Heartland crash
and burn will help give the media the backbone it needs
to stop equivocating and tell the climate change story
straight.

known as a climate skeptic, proved that
the NOAA and other official figures were
correct! So clearly, they know the truth,
but for reasons of profit (they own oil and
gas facilities which pollute), they have
chosen to ignore the truth that their own
research revealed.
This is beyond hypocrisy; this is criminal.

This can be proven or disproven by
checking the records. Al Gore didnt
invent the records.

Maybe climate change would be good for
the earth. If the environmental situation
were to get to the point where the human
race could no longer survive, then we
would become extinct, and the world
would have time to heal from all the
damage that we have inflicted on it. Newforests and jungles would grow and cover
the ruins of our society to the point where
nothing would remain to show that we
ever existed. Then new species would
evolve and repopulate the planet.
Hopefully these new species would be
intelligent enough to not destroy the earthlike we are doing now.
Speaking of intelligence, why is it that
the human race, supposedly the most
intelligent species of the planet, is the
one who is destroying it? It doesnt seem
to me that the other species on the earthgo around willingly destroying their own
environment. So what does the word
intelligent really mean? Could it mean
that we are intelligent enough to
deliberately destroy ourselves? That

The chief meteorologist of the Army
Corps of Engineers who works in the
federal building downtown told me that
global warming has political roots and
was invented for Al Gore to have a
platform that would "move the people"
when he was campaigning for president.
It is a scare tactic. He swears global
warming does not exist (he
recommended some book, but I forget
the name). I live on the Gulf Coast, and I
can attest that we are not breaking heat
records left and right down here -- maybe
a couple each year like we've done every
year since they have been recording
temperatures. He also said the earth's
weather goes through cycles -- it doesn't
remain constant and will flux from hot to
cold, violent to calm, etc.
Having said that -- I do believe the high
numbers of the human population are
wreaking havoc on this planet. Improper

President Obama has to wake up to the
reality of climate change and global
warming, the Republican leaders who are
the greatest deniers along with their
industrial partners in sheep's clothing, the
average US citizen who is bombarded by
a section of the media with the belief that
climate change is not real, school andcollege students along with their parents
who think this is a joke,and even the
religious right who come out with false,
obnoxious and unscientific ideas such as
what they call The Green Dragon, have
to all shake out of this state of denial and
stop pretending that global warming isnot happening. Otherwise, not only the
US but the entire world will be in a great
soup because, let not people forget, the
forces of nature are far greater than the
wisdom of man.

Scientists or scientific organizations
behind the climate change doubters are
the same ones that muddied the waters
between cigarettes and cancer. They
started as a group of well known
scientists hired by R.J. Reynolds
company to dispute that cigarette's
caused cancer back in the seventies.
Reynolds dumped millions into major
university science and health
departments to generate false evidence.
Now this faux science organization is
responsible for generating false data in
regards to Climate Change so the big
companies and their puppets in congress
can continue to push our world to the
breaking point all in the name of
commerce. We all die the same
way...can't figure out how where they are
planning to escape to since they
destroyed NASA as well.

years and it seems as if no one has
listened! Now people are seeing more of
