Trump's Man Says Climate Scientists are the Same as Holocaust Deniers
By Thom Hartmann A...
Trump has put a climate change denier who compares scientists studying carbon pollution to Nazis attacking Jews in charge of his science panel. The fossil fuel industry, like the tobacco industry before it, is making billionaires on the deaths of people.Except that fossil fuels are killing the entire planet, rather than just causing lung cancer and heart disease. And, like the tobacco industry - which funded Mike Pence so well that in 2000 Pence wrote an op-ed denying the seriousness of the link between tobacco and cancer - the fossil fuel industry is funding politicians and think tanks to push their lies and sustain their profits.
Now Trump is putting a climate change denier in charge of his science panel, and senators who take the most money from big oil and fossil fuel billionaires like the Kochs are most likely to join in denying climate change.

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."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
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."
