Sharing The Joy
• Honest skeptics (ordinary folks who genuinely and sincerely don’t understand the science, and raise questions accordingly)
• Independent deniers (ordinary people who just don’t understand the science, and choose to be very noisy about their ignorance)
• Astroturfers, as described by George Monbiot (these are apparently ordinary members of the public, in fact paid by PR companies to swamp websites with misinformation and inaccuracies, they hide behind anonymity and post furiously in comment threads, and only on climate change issues)
• Media deniers (Fox News, even though Rupert Murdoch himself is not a denialist; Melanie Philips, etc)
• Scientific deniers (almost invariably, denialist scientists are not climate scientists; some are no doubt paid to be sceptical, and others are sincere; the overwhelming majority of working climate scientists do not doubt the fundamentals of human-induced climate change science)
• Proxy interests (Think tanks: Cato Institute, Heartland Institute, George C. Marshall Institute, Senator James Imhoffe, etc)
• Industry associations (American Chamber of Commerce, American Petroleum Institute)
• Vested interests (Big oil, big coal: the likes of Exxon Mobil, BP, Shell, and possibly the Russian intelligence services)More, here: Lepageblog
Truebluemeandyou: Love tassels, did a roundup of tassel posts here (funny pastie one is not on it). Nice find!
Although it is cold and cloudy today, it should not stop us from celebrating Earth Day! Wherever you are in the world, come celebrate with all of us in the comfort of your own home, or from outside because today is a day where we come to love, appreciate and give back to the planet that keeps helping us survive.
Happy earth day everyone!
FYI: shopping for eco clothing IS NOT an Earth Day event. Lol
