Big Oil Launches Attack on Al Gore

Posted on May 17, 2006

A think tank bankrolled in part by oil companies has launched a disinformation campaign against Gore’s “global warming alarmism” in his movie “An Inconvenient Truth.”

Think Progress:

Today, the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) will unveil two 60-second TV ads focusing on what it calls global warming alarmism and the call by some environmental groups and politicians to reduce fossil fuel and carbon dioxide emissions. The ad, which will be aired in more than a dozen cities across the country, is being released just a week before the May 24th opening (in LA and NYC) of Al Gores new movie on global warming, An Inconvenient Truth.

Who is CEI? The Washington Post explains:

As Al Gore quoted Mark Twain in the film about it being hard for someone to accept the truth if it interfers with their making a paycheck.
I remeber two times this occurred in my own life. Once i was talking to an employee whose firm manufactured CFC’s before the treaty. I just mentioned the ozone depletion and he., with angry, interupted and said it was all nonsense!
I work for an airline and people are in disbelief or denial. Most, like myself, don’nt want to face reality. The planet Earth, we are killing it’s ability to the support life ecosystems in place!
Yes, Big Oil and their allies are winning, it is a tragedy and morally wrong.
Mr. Al Gore gets my respect, he is the true patroit among our leaders of today.
