Back on May 11th, I wrote a piece on the movie "The Global Warming Swindle." It was created by a man who was a long-time opponent of the theory of man-made global warming and featured many prominent supporters of this view. Two weeks ago, Newsweek magazine did a cover story on the "industry" of global warming denial. As you might expect, scientists and other individuals who support this theory are funded in the main by industries such as coal, natural gas, oil, and automobiles. Conservative think tanks also play a major part. The Newsweek story, The Truth about Denial by Sharon Begley, is now available on the web. If you don't have access to the hard-copy of the August 13th issue, I recommend that you check it out on-line.
