: Hello davids
: Thought you would be the gentlemen
: to ask, how many mainstream media
: reviews have you found for James Hoggan
: Climate Cover-Up?
: Regards Patrick

:
: Hi Patrick
:
: This looks like the only mention (below) -
: he appears to have had two sentences
: in the entire UK press.
:
: Best

: Eds

:
: The Guardian (London) - Final Edition
:
: October 23, 2009 Friday
:
: International: Fewer Americans believe
: global warming is caused by people
:
: Suzanne Goldenberg, US environment
: correspondent
:
:
: The percentage of Americans who believe
: global warming is happening, has
: plummeted from 77% to 57% in two years, a
: survey published yesterday shows.
:
: Only 57% of Americans believe there is solid
: scientific evidence showing the
: Earth's atmosphere is getting hotter,
: according to the poll of 1,500 people by
: the Pew Research Centre in Washington.
:
: In January 2007, 77% said there was solid
: evidence that the earth's temperatures
: were increasing. The numbers believing that
: human activity is causing global
: warming also fell, to just 36%.
:
: Public uncertainty over the evidence for
: global warming comes as the Senate
: prepares to begin debate next week on
: climate change laws. On Wednesday, 18
: scientific groups wrote to Congress to
: reaffirm the consensus on global warming.
:
: Michael Dimock, associate director of the
: Pew centre, said the economic crisis
: and struggles over health care reform had
: squeezed out the environment and
: climate change as issues of concern.
: "The public is just not as focused on
: global warming . . . as they have been in
: the past."
:
: But James Hoggan, the author of Climate
: Cover-Up, blamed a "sophisticated"
: lobbying campaign. "I would say a big
: part of this problem is this campaign to
: mislead Americans about climate
: science."
:
: The decline in belief was sharpest among
: Republicans and independent voters. And
: people living in the midwest and Rocky
: Mountain states were less inclined to see
: climate change as a serious problem. Yet
: half of Americans polled favoured
: carbon limits and firms paying for emissions
: - the basics of the cap and trade
: bill now before the Senate.
:
: 36%
:
: Percentage, in a poll of people in the US,
: who said they believed that human
: actions were causing global warming

:
: Second email to Patrick:
:
: Goldenberg also gave Coggan a mention in
: passing in a second article on October 24:
