The Providence Journal
published a letter on this heated climate change debate, March 20 - NOT a debate within science- signed by three Democrats who represent Rhode Island in Congress: Jack Reed, Jim Langevin, and David Cicilline clearly all agree with R.I. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse that corporate interests are poisoning public understanding of human caused climate change in the same way that corrupt scientists distorted truth and encouraged skepticism for Big Tobacco when scientific research had verified the suspected connection between cigarette smoking and lung cancer.
How obtuse of editorial page editor, Ed Achorn, to think it is all about "freedom of speech". A serious issue for people, like the billionaire Koch Brothers, who buy and sell news media, shameless journalists, and Republican presidential candidates? Read
"The Republican War on Science" by Chris Mooney (revised and updated) .
