The current issue of Newsweek has an excellent article that follows the myths and motives of the Global Warming deniers. I urge you to read it as it demonstrates how the argument against accepting the reality of Global Warming is created by the people who have the most to gain from ignoring it. Most interesting to me is the following quote:

“They patterned what they did after the tobacco industry,” says former senator Tim Wirth, who spearheaded environmental issues as an under secretary of State in the Clinton administration. “Both figured, sow enough doubt, call the science uncertain and in dispute. That’s had a huge impact on both the public and Congress.”
