#8: Dirty Power and Revolving Doors

This week we talked with Dr. Adam Lucas about the web of
connections between coal lobbies, conservative media, and
Australian politics. This is one of the interviews we've been
most excited about and what we learned truly shocked us.

**EDIT** The Heartland Institute think tank is based in Chicago,
Illinois, NOT California.


What you'll learn:


the various methods used by the fossil fuel industry to deny
climate change 

these include creating think tanks such as The Heartland
Institute and funding climate science denial research

the 'revolving door' and 'golden escalator' movements of
staffers between coal lobbies and government 

how to talk to climate deniers and internet trolls (and learn
from Bella about what not to do)

traceable and untraceable donations




To learn more:


Watch the Greenpeace documentary 'Dirty Power' and visit
their website.

visit the Michael West Media website and learn about the
staffers and MPs moving through these 'revolving doors'
