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.
Although all public relations professionals are bound by a duty to not knowingly mislead the public, some have executed comprehensive campaigns of misinformation on behalf of industry clients on issues ranging from tobacco and asbestos to seat belts.
Lately, these fringe players have turned their efforts to creating confusion about climate change. This PR campaign could not be accomplished without the compliance of media as well as the assent and participation of leaders in government and business.
Total win.

win indeed. you are fooling the people and they are easy to fool. i wouldn't leave this video on your site.it just proves that the general lemmings are out in full force. and btw, kevin..there may be the same people here but there are also twice as many..just thought you may have forgotten that in your summary.

If you're so confident of victory, then why waste your time here?
Seems to me that your argument is self-defeating! Which would appear to
be something that you have forgotten!
Crank.

I gotta say that's the first time I've heard of people saying global warming is good. Denying it makes sense (head in the sand is a common response) but saying it's good for us just seems.. well a little crazy.
Saying Warming is good is one of the standard responses. The contrarians / deniers /
just make up any old garbage to suit their agenda.
The basic trouble is that since the exact amount of warming isn't known, [because
the ultimate warming is dependent upon cumulative emissions]. However these jokers
are aiming their garbage at the scientifically challenged, that live in colder climes.
Let's face it, warming probably wouldn't sell too well in hot areas.
The jokers overlook the fact that this warming may be already is having undesirable
effects. Namely the melting of the permafrost, outgassing of thermokarst lakes and
melting of the polar ice-cap. The warming is also likely to destabilise the frozen
methane clathrates.
There are many gigatonnes of carbon in these carbon stores. Rather more than we
have already emitted and probably enough to cook us. Add to that the positive
feedbacks from ice-melt albedo changes and methane GHG releases.
All in all, this doesn't sound so good, does it?
PS I was being hurried by my daughter who wants to use the PC for her homework,
so I didn't have time to research the figures. [Well that's my excuse]

I agree.
This is the first time I've heard the 'global warming is good' argument.
Granted, I think it's total rubbish, but it is original.

Originality is not a good thing in this instance. This was a good post, enjoyed it. FatCow Coupon Thanks.
that's just nuts
Global warming is real, however people like to ignore the reality of it as it would mean that they would have to "change" somehow. funeral homes Thanks.
lets just take these climate change skeptics to a volcanoe and throw them in it. failing that we could all buy eee pc's and save the environment by cutting down on c02.
I've heard it quite a few times, bush for one attemtped to hide behind it. Claiming the the earth was too cold was one calssic argument of the red letter days.

It is sad that there are many climate change skeptics out there even though there is overwhelming evidence that the climate is changing for the worse.

Seems that the Heartland conference is more than just a little out of touch with where people are at on the issue.

so is the institute out of touch or is the public out of touch. i watched the video and all i heard was a bunch of people repeating a bunch of stuff that they apparently don't understand...not that i'm a global warming skeptic (i actually believe in global warming)...i'm just saying that you've interviewed a bunch of idiots. so does that lend credibility to the support for global warming??
Thanks so for sharing video
