"'''Climate change denial''' has been so effective because the [Local:Ingenious_Ways_To_Avoid_Believing_Climate_Change “denial community”] has mischaracterized the necessarily guarded language of serious scientific dialogue as vagueness and uncertainty. Mainstream media outlets, attacked for being biased, help lend credence to skeptics’ views, regardless of their scientific integrity, by giving them relatively equal standing with legitimate scientists. <no>ExxonMobil</no> is responsible for much of this bogus scientific “debate” and the demand for what the deniers cynically refer to as “sound science.”--~~~[http://snowe.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressRoom.PressReleases&ContentRecord_id=9acba744-802a-23ad-47be-2683985c724e Senators Demand that the World’s Largest Oil Maker Make Public Its History of Funding Climate Change “Skeptics”]~~~

"'''<no>ExxonMobil</no> has spent more than $19 million since the late 1990s on a strategy of “information laundering,”''' or enabling a small number of professional skeptics working through scientific-sounding organizations to funnel their viewpoints through non-peer-reviewed websites...The Internet has provided <no>ExxonMobil</no> the means to wreak its havoc on U.S. credibility, while avoiding the rigors of refereed journals. While deniers can easily post something calling into question the scientific consensus on climate change, not a single refereed article in more than a decade has sought to refute it. Indeed, while the group of outliers funded by <no>ExxonMobil</no> has had some success in the court of public opinion, it has failed miserably in confusing, much less convincing, the legitimate scientific community."--~~~[http://snowe.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressRoom.PressReleases&ContentRecord_id=9acba744-802a-23ad-47be-2683985c724e Senators Demand that the World’s Largest Oil Maker Make Public Its History of Funding Climate Change “Skeptics”]~~~
