Global warming and disinformation

CNN has seen documents and broadcast on their 7 am Sat 03 Feb 2007 newcast the report linked below of the $10,000 offer by the oil lobby to bribe anti-global warming "scientists" to undermine the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report released yesterday (Friday 02 Feb 2007). That report says that human activity is with 90% certainty a product of human activity (i.e. the burning of fossil fuels and the subsequent emission of green house gases - primarily carbon dioxide).

The well informed are so far ahead of the ignorant in this country that it isn't even funny. The rich work hard to ensure that most Americans stay ignorant and ill-informed so they can more easily be victimized by the ruling elites (such as the super wealthy, CEOs, and those who sit on the boards of directors of large transnational corporations). It is not surprising that the neoconservative rightwing thinktank American Enterprise Institute (AEI) is involved in this effort.
