Few things call more for an open public conversation about how to best protect all of us. Why can\u2019t we have it? Well, mystery solved: The entities that are to blame for the problem have their hands in the means we would use to debate and conceivably address it.<\/p>\n<p>Put simply: We cannot have a public conversation about how fossil fuels cause climate disruption within a corporate media moneyed by fossil fuel companies. We know that, and they know that, which is why one of the biggest outputs of polluting corporations is PR\u2014is management of our understanding of what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CounterSpin<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/fair.org\/home\/the-oil-companies-are-the-reason-we-dont-have-climate-policy\/\">discussed<\/a> fossil fuel corporations\u2019 brazen lie factory almost precisely a year ago with Richard Wiles, director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/climateintegrity.org\/\">Center for Climate Integrity<\/a>.
