"these groups differ on whether to scare the public with predictions of heat waves or woo it with promises of green jobs"
Oh, it is ALL an AGENDA-PUSHING TACTIC of FEAR, huh?
Scares and promises?! What the TRUTH WON'T WORK?

Guess not. The COOL, COOL SUMMER didn't help, did it?
And THIS ARTICLE will tell you that the ZIONIST/GLOBALIST AGENDA TRUMPS OIL!!! Just LOOK at the WAY the MSM treats oil as opposed to their beloved fart-misting friends. Still waiting to see the fart-misting protesters show up at a NASCAR race!
"Oil lobby shows that it hasn’t given up on the climate-change fight; Green activists’ progress is slow" by David A. Fahrenthold, Washington Post | September 1, 2009
ATHENS, Ohio - The oil lobby was sponsoring rallies with free lunches, free concerts, and speeches warning that a climate-change bill could ravage the US economy.
Professional “campaigners’’ hired by the coal industry were giving away T-shirts praising coal-fired power.
But when environmentalists showed up in this college town - closer than ever to congressional passage of a climate-change bill, in the middle of the green movement’s biggest political test in a generation - they provided . . . a sedate panel discussion.
And they gave away stickers.
The Senate is expected to take up legislation in September that would cap greenhouse-gas emissions. That fight began in blazing earnest last week, with a blitz of TV ads and public events in the Midwest and Mountain West.
It seems that environmentalists are struggling in a fight they have spent years setting up. They are making slow progress adapting a movement built for other goals - building alarm over climate change, encouraging people to “green’’ their lives - into a political hammer, pushing a complex proposal the last mile through a skeptical Senate.
That is why the PUBLIC is SICK of them -- not to mention that we are freezing out here!
Yup, gotta BUILD ALARM! The sky is falling, the sky is falling!!!!
Even now, these groups differ on whether to scare the public with predictions of heat waves or woo it with promises of green jobs. And they are facing an opposition with tycoon money and a gift for political stagecraft....
Environmentalists say it is crucial for the Senate to act now: In December, a conference in Copenhagen is supposed to create an international climate-change treaty....
You know, from the Patriot Act to the Iraq War Resolution to the retro-immunity for spying, this GOTTA GET IT DONE NOW attitude has NEVER WORKED VERY WELL!
To get the Senate to do something similar, environmentalists are buying TV ads, running phone banks, and holding public events. Much of the effort is coordinated from a “war room’’ shared with labor and veterans groups in Washington’s Chinatown.
You see, THAT type of ORGANIZING is OKAY!
Anything that SERVES the AGENDA is APPLAUDED in the MSM, while anything that does not is SCORNED!
Josh Dorner of the Sierra Club: “ . . . all signs point to yes’’ in the Senate.....
Oil and natural-gas groups have always had deeper pockets.
Gee, that DOESN'T SEEM to MATTER when it comes to SO MANY OTHER INTERESTS or CORPORATIONS when it comes to the paper.
In the first six months of 2009, the Center for Responsive Politics found they spent $82.1 million lobbying Washington on various issues, including climate policy. In the same time, environmental and health groups concerned with climate change spent about $6.6 million on lobbying and clean-energy firms $12.1 million, according to two other analyst groups, the Center for Public Integrity and New Energy Finance.
Well, ASK YOUR GLOBALIST SPONSORS for MORE MONEY!
Environmental groups have called the Energy Citizens and other industry-sponsored organizations “astroturf’’ - fake grass roots, professional activists, and paid employees masquerading as concerned citizens.
Of course, if it is one IN FAVOR of the agenda, those charges are never raised in the MSM!
