It’s much more fun to write on the good stuff environmentally friendly people and businesses are doing, but occasionally we have to take a look at what is keeping the world down, too.<\/p>\n

A new report put out by Greenpeace, Koch Industries: Secretly Funding the Climate Denial Machine<\/a><\/em>, uncovers where many of the leading anti-climate science campaigns, organizations and people get their money — from Koch Industries or affiliated charities.<\/p>\n
