Absolutely.
Have a look at this Guardian article, linked through our friend Ross Gelbspan’s site.
The thrust is that a horde of oil industry-funded lobbyists are heading to Europe to try to undermine support for action against climate change. The operation is being led by Chris Horner, a Washington DC lawyer and senior fellow at the rightwing thinktank, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, which has received more than $1.3m (£750,000) funding from the US oil giant ExxonMobil. (See also next post.)
Horner is quoted saying that Europe is “an untapped frontier,” albeit one that is hostile to Horner’s gang of climate change dissemblers. In fact, Horner says: “It’s just a den of thieves over there.”
We concur wholeheartedly with the words in that sentence, but leave it to you, dear reader, to infer the correct location of “over there.”
