It seems amazing to me that there are still people who doubt the validity of the global warming phenomenon. Maybe I shouldn't be that amazed. Exxon Mobil has been creating phony grassroots campaigns (a practice called astroturfing) which try to create skepticism in the masses for years. It should then come as no surprise that Philip Morris otherwise known as Altria is in on the act as well. In fact Philip Morris invented the practice. While seeking to discredit an EPA report on the ill effects of second hand smoke, the company hired a PR firm; which in turn created a phony citizens group that tried not only to discredit the second hand smoke study, but to also raise broader questions about government research and regulations in general -- including global warming. This practice has to stop. Multinational conglomerates like Philip Morris care more about your dollar than about being responsible global citizens. Here are a few Philip Morris brands.. Just think about corporate deceit when you go to grab one off the shelf.
- Miller beer
- Kraft
- Post
- Nabisco
- Maxwell House foods
