Fossil Fuel industry a little like the tobacco industry?

It's a shocker, I know. The basic story is one that I think a lot of climate-change advocates already knew backwards and forwards - the fossil fuel industries have been deliberately creating doubt behind the science of climate change.

That alone is bad enough, but then the cause of doubt and confusion has been taken up by politicians, largely to push anti-regulatory, free-market ideas, and foolish people in general, who don't understand the complexity of climate science but think they do.

The basic truth: climate change is real, it's coming, and we're not doing enough about it.
