Host asks if he believe in Global Warming...

"Nothing to do with it. We've had heat waves before, we'll have heat waves again..."
:eyes:


Looks like Mr. Magoo, too.

[hatrack]

:eyes:

[DemonFighterLives]

5. Think Tank here in town

:rofl:

[hatrack]

11. Judging by Post #6, "Don't-Think Tank" might be a better descrption!

:puke:

[DemonFighterLives]

17. For sure!

This was the answer that he gave the host.
:puke:

[Skidmore]

2. He doesn't have eyes....

[CottonBear]

7. It's quite distracting, the lack of eyes that is...

This Bonner Cohen guy is a nutcase.

I wonder how much he was paid by big industry and Republicans to write this book he's pushing?

edit: This guy is insane. I can hardly believe the unscientific crap that he's spewing. :(

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

8. creepy

i had to zoom in on his face. his eyes are closed.

[acmejack]

10. He certainly is blind...

[DemonFighterLives]

3. Mr Magoo is a dream weaver

I can tell the mindless will be sucked in and hypnotized.
I couldn't believe the widespread denial among the pukes. I have a good friend who is a "reasonable" repuke, but he even repeated the "cycle" thing we are in and he doesn't believe in the threat.
:silly:

6. more...

from SourceWatch..

Bonner Cohen headed EPA Watch which received funding from Philip Morris. He purported to edit EPA Watch as an independent newsletter published and distributed by the non-profit American Policy Center, but in fact it was a publication of the APCO & Associates PR Group, originally owned by Philip Morris's Washington legal firm, Arnold & Porter (ie A&P Co = APCO)

During this time he shared the work with Steve Milloy ("Junkman") who was running the organisation known as The Advancement for Sound Science Coalition (TASSC) which purported to be a grass-roots sound-science organisation, but which was originally a tobacco industry front (run also by APCO) pushing a "sound science" line (only their science was judged to be sound!).

Milloy clearly wrote a number of the articles published in EPA Watch, and Cohen eventually became listed as President of TASSC when it moved from being a vehicle just for tobacco promotion, to having a wider agenda, opposing government attempts at health regulation of a number of polluting industries.

A Philip Morris document states that EPA Watch was an "asset" established to assist Philip Morris achieve a broader impact than just on the issue of second-hand smoke. Another Philip Morris document argues the need to "develop a plan for EPA Watch / Bonner Cohen as expert on EPA matters, i.e. regular syndicated radio features on EPA activities." <1> (http://www.prwatch.org/prwissues/2000Q3/usual.html)
