Senators Explain How Fossil Fuel Groups Use Media To Spread Denial And Thwart Climate Action

A group of U.S. Senators took to the Senate floor on July 11 and 12 to expose the “web of denial” that the fossil fuel industry has spun to block action on climate change. Essential to this effort is a media misinformation campaign that several senators described in detail.

Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) remarked on the “unfortunate role” that the media has played in spreading misinformation by providing false balance on the science of climate change:

Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) noted that “so-called experts” at the Koch- and Exxon-funded Heritage Foundation“publish op-eds and do interviews in media outlets around the country, talk radio, helping to spread disinformation or misinformation or what we sometimes call lies”:

Not new news, but it's good to see some elected officials getting the truth out.

How many are getting campaign donations from green organizations? Last mid terms Tom Steyer sp? himself donated something like 80 million to D's that were for the big lie of AGW. Who by the way made his billions in fossil fuels.

Big money in spouting green rhetoric.

Don't you mean that Democrat Senators slandered respectable private corporations in an effort to defraud the public and bamboozle them into looting Democrat political opponents?

All they proved is that Democrats are scum.
