He's also a frequent contributor to CFACT (lobbying group) among others, and has written absurdities including the following claims of spontaneous generation of oil:<br /><br /><i>The widespread use of the term “fossil fuels” is a deception created by anti-energy propagandists and earlier theorists to make people believe that oil is the result of countless dead dinosaurs and decaying vegetation. Oil, however, is “abiotic”, a term that means it is a natural product of the earth itself “manufactured at deep levels where there never were any plants or animals.”</i><br /><br />In other words, he's a pure PR flack who will write complete nonsense for his clients. Nothing to do with science, or with reality for that matter...<br /><br />http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Alan_Caruba<br />http://conwebwatch.tripod.com/stories/2013/caruba.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-86051573984783234922013-07-17T00:34:31.253+10:002013-07-17T00:34:31.253+10:00Caruba is seriously ignorant.

I wonder what Caruba thinks the 'CC' in 'IPCC' (formed in 1988) stands for? <br /><br />But here's an extract from the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20040203162027/http://www.ewg.org/briefings/luntzmemo/pdf/LuntzResearch_environment.pdf" rel="nofollow">memo</a> in which a shadowy, sinister organisation proposed the change in terminology..<br /><br /><i>We have spent the last seven years examining how best to communicate complicated ideas and controversial subjects. The terminology in the upcoming environemtnal debate needs refinement, starting with 'global warming' and ending with 'environmentalism'. <b>It's time for us to start talking about 'climate change' instead of global warming and 'conservation' instead of preservation</b></i><br /><br />Greenpeace? The US EPA? Nope, political advisor Frank Lutz in a memo to Republican activists in the Bush era.<br /><br />Phil Clarkenoreply@blogger.com
