Competitive Enterprise Institute Airs Co2 Pollution Denial Ads

The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) has produced two 60-second television spots focusing on the alleged global warming crisis and the calls by some environmental groups and politicians for reduced energy use. The ads are airing in 14 U.S. cities from May 18 to May 28, 2006.

But it is no surprise that they believe "Co2 is life" as they are funded by ExxonMobil Corporation, with over $2 million in contributions between 1998 and 2005. In 2002 the company gave $405,000, in 2004 it gave CEI $180,000 that was earmarked for "global climate change and global climate change outreach.

Other companies that donate on an annual basis include;

Ford Motor Company
Phillip Morris
Texaco Inc

With all this funding from such specific companies one wonders how much thinking this think tank really does, and does it extend beyond the next annual donation.

"CO2 - they call it pollution, we call it life"
seriously, that is like the WORST slogan ever?
i mean how bloody fantastic is that?

it is absurd to say that just by reducing CO2 emissions, we will lose our way of life.. "not able to light up our lives", "not able to transport our kids" and the best of all "not able to grow food"

like PLEASE!
