Mother Jones Reports on the Climate Change PR Disaster

In an article in Mother Jones http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2010/03/climate-changes-pr-disaster , writer Kevin Drum struck upon the real reason Climate Change deniers have grown more vocal and have become more skeptical, though I’m not sure he realizes it.  If you look at one specific phrase you will find it for me in a nutshell…”This is why so many environmentalists have switched gears recently, suggesting that climate change action should be disguised as energy research, national security programs, or competition with China for market share in windmills and solar panels.”

Now I ask you, if we have a real problem do we trust people who plan to “disguise” the problem as something else in order to get support?  I don’t, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, then call it a freakin DUCK.
