Tonight on PBS: Climate of Doubt by Frontline

FRONTLINE explores the massive shift in public opinion on climate change.

Four years ago, climate change was a hot issue and politicians from both sides seemed poised to act. Today public opinion on the climate issue has cooled considerably. Politicians either ignore it or proclaim their skepticism. What’s behind this massive reversal? On Oct 23, FRONTLINE goes inside the organizations that fought the scientific establishment to shift the direction of the climate debate.

It's disgusting how a handful of corporate shills can sway half of the nation to continue to destroy life on earth, for short term profits and political gain. Global warming has once again become a toxic issue, that no politician in office will touch. Fox news and Americans for Prosperity are not just a national threat, they are a planetary threat!
