Anthony Watts @climatewatch has released an article quoting a paper "that de-bunks the ocean acidification scare". I exposed Watts in several tweets, to whit: He is affiliated with The Heartland Institute which is connected to the Koch brothers and ALEC. I documented that he's a paid speaker for the Heartland Insttute. Please see my tweets about this @dutchjim1

Enron and commodity deregulation
Bank deregulation
GMO deregulation
Explosion of autism, early-onset puberty, other endocrine disruptors

I found, probably through John Fugelsang, a great Bible passage to put on a bumper sticker. Matthew 15:8-9 relates exactly to those that call themselves Christians, yet follow none of his teachings, instead focusing on homosexuality and abortion, for example.

"This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
Dean Baker, economist and author of Plunder and Blunder, False Profits, and Taking Economics Seriously
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
Peter Coyote, actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning and When Corporations Rule the World
