Current Event 5/16/12

http://green.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/04/a-new-tactic-for-climate-skeptics/ I chose this blog because just the other day we discussed and learned about the unabomber. The company, Heartland, used Ted Kaczynski on their billboard to stop global warming. The billboard read, “I still believe in global warming. Do you?” with a picture of his face right next to this saying. Within hours of the billboard being posted, it was taken down due to the shocked reactions of people passing by. The company has been known to use dramatic images and people to get their message across such as Charles Manson, Fidel Castro, Osama bin Laden and James J. Lee. The Heartland Institute does not apologize for the dramatic billboard and they "will continue to experiment with ways to communicate the ‘realist’ message on the climate.”
