Climate Scientist To CEI: Stop Misrepresenting My Research


Big Oil tries to sabbotage Gore's Documentary with lies and confusing statements about research.

Think Progress � Climate Scientist To CEI: Stop Misrepresenting My Research:

"On Wednesday, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a front group funded by ExxonMobil and other big oil companies, launched two advertisements in response to Al Gore's new movie about global warming, An Inconvenient Truth.

One of the advertisements attempts to show that the scientific evidence for global warming is in dispute, claiming a study found the 'Antarctic ice sheet is getting thicker, not thinner.'

The primary author of that study, Curt Davis, has issued statement blasting CEI's use of his study. Here's an excerpt:


These television ads are a deliberate effort to confuse and mislead the public
about the global warming debate. They are selectively using only parts of my
previous research to support their claims. They are not telling the entire story
to the public."
