Global warming: worst advocacy campaign ever — Transition Voice
If climate change were a product, it would’ve been pulled from the shelves during the Clinton Administration. If the green movement were a company, it would have gone bankrupt and its assets acquired by Procter and Gamble to market eco-Tide to Prius-drivers in Portland. Oregon or Maine, it doesn’t matter.

Today, there are almost as many books on Amazon arguing that climate change is a hoax or a blessing or an act of God as there are books based on actual science.

Now, you might complain that Exxon, Massey Energy and Koch Industries have poured massive amounts of cash into the American Enterprise Institute and skeptic loudmouths like Patrick Michaels and Richard Lindzen to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt about climate change on Fox News.
2006: The problem with "global warming"
Global is good.
Warm is good.
Even greenhouses are good places.

How can "global warming" be bad?

I'm not being facetious. If the problem were called "Atmosphere cancer" or "Pollution death" the entire conversation would be framed in a different way.
