The 'well-funded climate denial industry' remains Algore's favorite boogeyman:

"There has been an organized campaign," Gore told a forum in Singapore, "financed to the tune of about $10 million a year from some of the largest carbon polluters, to create the impression that there is disagreement in the scientific community."

If by "create the impression" Algore means "point out," then yes, I agree there has been an organized campaign, premised by the way on the Constitutional guarantee of Freedom of Speech. That's okay with you, Al, isn't it?

*Yawn*

Noted by legions, I'm sure. Then an article in Ad Age tells us what Algore leaves out: that he too is mounting an "organized campaign" (apparently a Bad Thing when someone besides Algore does it): NRO explains so even idiots can understand:

"But now one of the most hotly contended pitches out there is for the Alliance for Climate Protection, the organization formed last year by Al Gore. Four elite agencies — Crispin Porter & Bogusky, Bartle Bogle Hegarty, the Martin Agency and Y&R — are squaring off for the business and are expected to present to the former vice president himself early next month, according to executives familiar with the review. The budget for the "historic, three-to-five-year, multimedia global campaign," as the request for proposals puts it, is contingent on how much money the alliance raises. Media spending will likely be more than $100 million a year."

That's right, $100 million per year. Al Gore, who seems to think it is sinister for other people to spend money in order to communicate their ideas about sound public policy is going to outspend the entire mass of climate policy critics tenfold in order to spread his message of environmental catastrophism to the public.

Will Newsweek damn Gore's eco-industry funded hysteria campaign to lead a charge back to the stone age? Don't hold your breath.
