Washington , D.C. , March 11, 2008—Today the Competitive Enterprise Institute launches a national advertising campaign, focusing on the threat to affordable energy posed by Al Gore’s global warming agenda. The ads contrast Gore’s energy-consuming lifestyle with the life-and-death need for energy in developing countries.
CEI’s new campaign comes in the face of Gore’s March 1st announcement of a major new set of ads from his Alliance for Climate Protection to promote the global warming issue. CEI’s response includes both a broadcast television ad and related online video.
“Global warming activists warn us about the alleged threats from global warming, but are usually silent about the much more immediate threats from global warming policies,” said CEI General Counsel Sam Kazman, also the ad co-creator. “Restricting access to affordable energy is a sure recipe for increasing poverty, disease and human misery around the world.”

We can only hope that such spreads to Oz; upcoming on the (Oz) History channel this weekend is the doco ‘A Global Warning?’ – still alarmist but, at least, asking if nature, not man, is the cause … the promo has nice grabs of Gore’s scaremongering speeches juxtaposed to pragmatic sciencmetatists – about time – hopefully we’ll see it on Aunty, soon: watch out Snow Cone Tone & Robyn 100m Williams! …
