Authors Hoggan and Littlemore explain how the climate &#8220;debate&#8221; is actually a &#8220;public relations creation&#8221; and support their claims with proof, including corporate strategy papers.  Unfortunately, such debate &#8220;cripples public policy and paralyzes public action&#8221;.  \n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It seems that there are no safe compromises to be made in dealing with climate change. Denying it was wrong. Delaying action is dangerous. People who say otherwise should, at some point in the very near future, have to stand accountable for their recklessness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nIt&#8217;s time to drop the hype around climate change and deal with it now.  Exposing those who are responsible for creating confusion on the issue, such as Exxon Mobil that &#8220;has funneled tens of millions of dollars into denial&#8221;, is the first step, but it should also not hinder or confuse progress on true environmental policy.  Thankfully, as Hogan and Littlemore write, &#8220;That tide is turning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/7SxQWNAO8RTvuHdU7JGRTjVGzyc\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/7SxQWNAO8RTvuHdU7JGRTjVGzyc\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/7SxQWNAO8RTvuHdU7JGRTjVGzyc\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/7SxQWNAO8RTvuHdU7JGRTjVGzyc\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by the some of the great folks at DeSmogBlog, Climate Cover-Up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming explores how such a large portion of Americans have come to believe that climate change is just a hoax.
