How did it happen… (28:00-37:00)

Lord Monckton Trained Journalist Not A Scientist Policy Advisor to Margaret Thatcher March 25, 2009 Appeared Before House Subcom. On Energy & Environ. (14:20-15:20)

American Petroleum Institute “…a national media relations program to inform the media about uncertainties in climate science; to generate national, regional and local media on the scientific uncertainties and thereby educate and inform the public, stimulating them to raise questions with policymakers.” “Victory will be achieved when: Average citizens understand uncertainties in climate science; recognition of uncertainties becomes part of the conventional wisdom’ Media understands uncertainties in climate science Those promoting the Kyoto treaty on the basis of extant science appear to be out of touch with reality.” 1998 – Including representatives from Exxon, Chevron, & Conservative Think Tanks

Heartland Institute Received at least $676,500 from Exxon Worked with Philip Morris in 90’s to question second- hand smoke health risks 2012 leaked documents outlined an initiative with ALEC to get climate denial taught in K-12

A not very optimistic… The End.
