President Lies in Press Conference

"The EPA is under a court order that identifies greenhouse gases as a pollutant." (paraphrase)

The truth is, the court said EPA must make a determination whether they are a pollutant. Big difference.

Re: President Lies in Press Conference

About "President Lies in Press Conference", this is unavoidably true, unless he does not know what he is talking about. Neither is good news given the staggering consequences to flow from EPA's discretionary action of regulating carbon dioxide under the Clean Air Act, using provisions never intended for such purpose.

Which is to say, he is flat and tragically wrong, no matter how forcefully he insists it is so. It isn't.

Once identified, opinion-leaders [I recommend Marc Morano!] need to be recruited and trained as peer-educators who initiate conversations with friends and acquaintances, passing on and recommending important news coverage about climate change, encouraging turn out at upcoming events, and providing advice and insight on how to participate, learn, and connect with others on the issue.

Within a specific region or population segment, recruiting opinion-leaders as part of a formal climate change education campaign may appear as risky to expert organizations which traditionally prefer that only official organizational representatives speak on their behalf, for fear of the risk of losing control of a message or promoting false information. Yet this fear only underscores the importance of training, follow-up, and monitoring of opinion-leaders. There already exists a successful model for expert organizations to consider: At zoos, museums, and science centers, volunteer docents are typically the main contact point for visitors. Well trained opinion-leaders should be considered organizational docents who are at large in the real world engaging their peers on climate change.
