PR Executive James Hoggan on "Climate Cover-Up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming"

by via Democracy Now
Tuesday, October 20, 2009 :The Yes Men aren't the only group accused of pulling off a hoax in the debate over climate change legislation. In August, the American Petroleum Institute -- the oil industry's top lobbying group -- was found to have asked member oil companies to help recruit employees, retirees and contractors for anti-climate bill rallies around the country. Critics said the API was trying to fake a grassroots movement to give a false impression of widespread public opposition to tackling global warming. Our next guest James Hoggan has just published a new book on corporate efforts to mislead the public on human-driven climate change. It's called "Climate Cover-Up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming."
James Hoggan, author of “Climate Cover-Up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming.” He is president of the award-winning PR Firm Hoggan and Associates. He is chair of the David Suzuki Foundation and the Canadian chapter of Al Gore"s The Climate Project. He also runs DeSmogBlog.com
