it becomes clear that the energy source with the highest mining burden is coal. Generating one gigawatt-hour of electricity with coal requires 20 times the mining footprint as generating the same electricity with low-carbon power sources like wind and solar. Producing the same electricity with natural gas requires moving about twice as much rock.

From an astute observer of business behavior and expert in climate denial comes a thought-provoking explanation of how corporations delay, distract, and deflect blame and spread disinformation surrounding health issues, pollution, and climate change.

“Brilliantly subversive and witty. If you want to be a vile, greedy capitalist, this how-to book will be a great help. And if you want to identify vile, greedy capitalists, it will show you how to recognize them. A landmark book.” —Brian Eno

Are you a corporation out to make your fortune at any cost? Are you worried about “facts” and “experts” getting in the way of your profits? Do you wish you could make scientists, journalists, and anyone who asks questions about your suspect business practices disappear? Now you can.

Whether you are selling tobacco, dealing in oil, or pushing pharmaceuticals, denying climate change or exploiting workers, The Playbook is here to help you obfuscate your way to what you want.

Including how to:
Massage the statistics to suit your needs. Or, even better, fund studies to make up some new ones
Attract and cultivate university professors who have an axe to grind and are short of cash
Make your problem somebody else’s problem—ideally the government’s
Remember: Tame journalists, PR firms, think tanks, lawyers, and threats of physical violence are your friends!

Follow these rules and you are guaranteed to make a killing. It’s economic sense, after all.

Internal documents unearthed by a U.S. Senate panel show the oil giant modeled up to 500 CCS sites operating globally by 2050, far fewer than rival Shell.

Now, Jacques is digging into the root political reasons for their involvement. We talked to Jacques, whose research specialty is the politics of sustainability and global environmental change, about his work and its implications for the planet.

When did this climate change denial begin in earnest?
The conservative climate countermovement began in 1992 in opposition to the global environmentalism that was on display at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, also known as the Rio Earth Summit.

There was a fear that global environmentalism was the new “communism” taking over after the demise of the Soviet Union the year before. Leading conservatives from the United States attended the summit on a reconnaissance mission, as later revealed in an interview with conservative leader and former governor of Washington state Dixy Lee Ray. Ray said that she and political writer and founder of Washington, D.C.-based libertarian think tank Competitive Enterprise Institute Fred Smith were sent there by the Free Congress Committee, headed by Paul Weyrich.

DAN_F: Byl jsem na tom před pár měsíci podobně, když jsem toto vše vč. D. Vávry objevil.
Přijde mi, že si tito lidé dávají pozor, aby se náhodou nedostali před kameru s někým, kdo by jim byl schopen slušně oponovat.

Pamatuji si, že jsem se kdysi díval na jeho výklad o Green Dealu (a to sám mám nějaké výtky), dle jeho monologu (i když kolem něj bylo více účinkujících) jsem usoudil, že v životě tento sbor dokumentů nečetl - a kdyby kohokoliv z jeho publika napadlo si dát jakékoliv tvrzení do googlu, tak mají během 5 vteřin jasno.
