Howdy, all--

Who Knew ... ;-)

:^D

On this item from the Competitive Enterprise Institute:

On the heels of the Earth Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, the Competitive Enterprise Institute is releasing its newest book on the state of our planet, Global Warming and Other Eco-Myths: How the Environmental Movement Uses False Science to Scare Us to Death (Prima Publishing 2002).Ý In it, experts from around the world debunk many of the eco-myths that threaten economic progress and the environment itself.

...here are a few bits about CEI from the Center for Media and Democracy (the publishers of /PR Watch/.

http://www.prwatch.org/spin/June_2001.html (Scroll down to "CEI uses Stossel...")

As for those wacky Debunking Experts, who are SOOOO intent on plucking the fruits of Economic Progress for (from?) us all, and protecting us (from what?), you will enjoy Sheldon Rampton's and John Stauber's /Trust Us, We're Experts: How Industry Manipulates Science and Gambles with Your Future/.

I know you all can read that book blurb with all appropriate/due critical acumen ("No study has ever proven the existence of Gaia, gravity, nor the female orgasm!!")...but just thought some of you might enjoy a crash course in counter-spin from some of the most rollicking Debunker dunkers on the planet.


peace
