Anyone tired of the deceptive smear campaign against global warming being run by conservatives, corporations and PR professionals now have a champion and a manifesto:

There is a line between public relations and propaganda - or there should be. And there is a difference between using your skills, in good faith, to help rescue a battered reputation and using them to twist the truth - to sow confusion and doubt on an issue that is critical to human survival.
