FTR, the article quotes Sam Kazman of the "Competitive
Enterprise Institute" (CEI).  Kazman's organization is actually
an industry front set up to fight against government
regulation.

This is the same Competitive Enterprise Institute that
produces TV spot ads promoting carbon dioxide as a
beneficial agent.  They want us to keep believing that
global warming is a good thing.

Here's what SourceWatch says about the CEI:

"The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) is a neoliberal
think tank based in Washington DC. It calls itself 'a
non-profit, non-partisan research and advocacy institute
dedicated to the principles of free enterprise and limited
government. We believe that individuals are best helped
not by government intervention, but by making their own
choices in a free marketplace.'"

"On its website CEI states that it 'serves as both a think
tank?creating intellectual ammunition to support free
markets?and an advocacy organization?putting that
ammunition to use in persuasive ways.'"

"It postures as an advocate of "sound science" in the
development of public policy. However, CEI projects
dispute the overwhelimng scientific evidence that human
induced greenhouse gas emissions are driving climate
change. They have a program for 'challenging government
regulations', push property rights as a solution to
environment problems, opposed US vehicle fuel efficiency
standards and been a booster for the drug industry."

The CEI is closely linked to Phillip Morris.  'Nuff said?
