If there's one thing I can't stand, it's an alarmist climate-change denial event

Groups to Provide 'Prebuttal' to "Alarmist" Climate-Change Denial Event in Detroit Held by U.S. Chamber of Commerce - MarketWatch

DETROIT, Nov 17, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Experts to Caution Against Heeding Head-in-Sand Approach to Global Warming, Unwarranted Alarmism that Ignores the Strong Economic Potential from Green Jobs, Increased Energy Efficiency and Climate-Related Innovation.

A group of Michigan and national experts will hold a "prebuttal" phone briefing at 1:30 p.m. ET Monday ahead of a so-called "climate change dialogue" event organized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for Tuesday in Detroit.

In the wake of an election that makes action on climate change more likely, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is holding a series of events across the United States to minimize concerns about global warming and also to promote alarmist claims about the economic implications of taking action to curb climate change. In doing so, the Chamber ignores the solid scientific consensus that global warming is both real and that it demands immediate action by policymakers. The Chamber also makes job and tax-related claims that have been thoroughly debunked and which totally ignore the considerable employment and economy-boosting potential of green job creation, increased energy efficiency and climate-related scientific and other innovation.
