Thanks to Greenpeace, we have a new "muckraking project" called PolluterWatch, designed to expose and push back on "polluting industry influence peddling and propaganda." PolluterWatch Director Kert Davies explains:
"Hard-working Americans don't have the money or lack of scruples to hire hackers to sort and post stolen emails. It's the guys making money lying about climate science who have been cooking the science books. Once their emails are brought to the light of day, we'll know the truth. If they haven't been lying, they'll have nothing to hide, and we'll be happy to organize and post all of their emails for them so the public can judge for themselves."
"If you are making money subverting America's interests in clean energy jobs and energy security, we're going to expose you and fight back," adds PolluterWatch advisor David Dionne. "These Washington elites have been accountability-free for far too long, and the public is sick of it."
In coming weeks and months, PolluterWatch promises it will "investigate and reveal the truth behind polluting industry's concerted effort to delay and derail society's response to global climate change." this, of course, includes keeping a close eye on Exxon-Mobil.
