Tonight's climate-less Democratic debate: Brought to you on behalf of ABEC

Posted by David Roberts at 10:18 PM on 31 Jan 2008

I looked through the transcript, and as far as I can tell there wasn't a single question about climate change in tonight's Democratic debate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

This is the fourth CNN debate sponsored by coal front group Americans for Balanced Energy Choices (ABEC). Not one of the four has contained a question on climate.

But I did feel really well informed

by the commercials on how like, coal isn't the enemy of the human race any more. It's CLEAN! It's PLENTIFUL! It's AMERICAN!

The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.

Different sponsors

Interesting how much sway these sponsors seem to have over the questions being asked. Environmental Defense was a top sponsor for the CNN Republican debate on the 30th and the candidates were asked about the CA EPA waiver issue.

Just because...

...We are paranoid, does not mean that coalies are not out to get us.

Long experience with corporatist propaganda techniques indicate that paranoia is justified.
