This online project began in 2006 and was created by Jim Hoggan, a founder of Canada's leading public relation firm.
While his PR career isn't only based on climate change, he understood the
importance and magnitude that media can play on the public view of the current anthropogenic
global warming. His blog is called the de-smog blog: Clearing the PR
Pollution That Clouds Climate Science and was named the top 25 “Best Blogs of
2011” by TIME magazine. With the thousands of blogs available on the internet,
a positive climate PR blog receiving this honor is extremely impressive.
What I wanted to share was their Global WarmingDisinformation Database. This database lists individuals, companies, trade
organization and the others involved in poisoning the public perception on
global warming science and the consensus among scientists. (Yes, there is a consensus,
read my previous blog!) One will quickly realize that most of the individuals
that deny Climate change aren’t climatologists! Most of them are economists or
in law or related fields. It is especially frightening when you discover that
they are a chair or on the board of a countries climate change coalition or
agency while previously working for a petroleum company!
The site is extremely helpful in providing resources and information on media information and links and videos relating to all things climate change
