~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE DENIAL MACHINE
http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/denialmachine/

"In the past few years, a hurricane has engulfed the debate about global warming. This crucial scientific issue has become a rhetorical firestorm with science pitted against spin and inflammatory words on both sides.

How could scientific fact, which many believe could determine the very future of the planet, become a political battleground, pitting left versus right, environmentalist versus climate change sceptic?

The Denial Machine follows a small but powerful group of scientists who argue, among other claims, that global warming may be a good thing and it investigates their links to the oil and coal industries.

Bob McKeown investigates why a debate that some say could determine the very future of our planet has become a partisan battleground."
