In Europe, Holocaust deniers have been subjected to legal censure if not outright prosecution for years. Attached article from Newsweek uses "denier" and/or "denial machine" at least a dozen times in describing those who aren't totally onboard with the science of man-made global-warming. I will not apologize then for taking slight offense to the obvious hammering of this term as an attempt to equate the two camps.
Much is made in this article of the sponsorship of scientists and scientific paper-writers who call into question man-made global warming. What isn't mentioned in the article, though, is the Government funding, your tax dollars, in way of grants to the doomsayers that write of our imminent demise at the hands of man-made global warming.
Article also talks of corporations that are pushing for tougher restrictions on green house emissions. Got a little story related to that: As part of my job, I was researching some pending regulations on oily water separators that are put aboard our ships. My research revealed that the IMO (International Maritime Organization) to which our country is a signatory, worked with "industry" to tighten restrictions on what is allowed to be pumped overboard after being processed by the separators. What I found out was that "industry" was represented by a single company, "Company X". Turns out "Company X" was the only company in the world that had the technology whereby they could backfit existing and start manufacturing new separators that would comply with the stricter regulations they were helping create. And guess whose company's separators are now onboard our ships?
I realized then what is really meant by "going Green".
