Climate Criminal Action Figures?

Check out this fine compendium of the world’s most prominent climate cranks in this week’s Rolling Stone. Tim Dickinson succinctly summarizes the wretched roles played by seventeen of the worst offenders in preventing climate progress.

Among the guilty:

The Profiteer -Warren Buffett CEO, Berkshire Hathaway
The Disinformer - Rupert Murdoch CEO, News Corporation
Burning Man - Rex Tillerson CEO, ExxonMobil
The Drudge of Denial - Marc Morano Founder, Climate Depot
God’s Denier - Sen. James Inhofe Republican, Oklahoma
The Pundit - George Will Commentator, ABC

Collect them all at the Rolling Stone. Maybe they should come out with action figures too…

About the climate cover-up

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.
