In response to the connection made between the denial of tobacco's harmful health effects and denial of Global Warming, check out the book - Deadly Spin, written by Wendell Potter. In his book, Potter writes that the most powerful public relations spin machine was created by the tobacco industry. Today many corporations are using the tobacco industry's public relation methods to "...manipulate public opinion and dodge regulations."
This is a sad video - sad because I could make the opposite statement with it and it would have the same emotional impact. You could argue that big government and big environment groups are funding scientists to raise the spectre of global warming to motivate trillions of dollars of economic change in their favor. "I believe nicotine is not addictive..." LOL
