E. BRUCE HARRISONE. Bruce was another behind-the-scenes guru, all aw shucks Southern charm but a master manipulator of the public and the government.
Riggeda year ago
LATEST POSTGet 'Em While They're Youngby RiggedE. Bruce was another behind-the-scenes guru, all aw shucks Southern charm but a master manipulator of the public and the government. An Alabama boy desperate to escape his roots, he spent a brief stint as a reporter at the local newspaper before making his way into politics, first as the press secretary of an Alabama Democrat, where he even wound up helping out on JFK’s campaign.
But his favorite visitors to the Alabama Senator’s office were the corporate lobbyists. His boss had no time for these folks, but Bruce liked the cut of their jib, and the idea that business was a better way to solve problems than policy would ever be.

The chemical lobby wooed him to work for them, making him the very first “environmental information officer” ever, and almost immediately he found himself facing an enormous challenge: beating back the first wave of the environmental movement and “that damn book” Silent Spring. He lost that battle, but learned some lessons, and then went to work for a mining company that sent him off to Indonesia to set up a deal to create the world’s largest copper mine.
When he came back to D.C. in 1972, it was clear that industry had truly been caught flat footed by the environmental movement, and were struggling to regain their footing. Most modern environmental legislation was passed between 1965-1972, and the EPA was established in 1970 to enforce it all. Harrison’s old pals in the chemical industry and at the American Petroleum Institute were losing in this new world, and he was in a perfect position to help them win again—he knew business, he knew government, he knew lobbying and PR, and now he even had foreign relations under his belt. Harrison’s big idea was to combine various industries, unions and government entities together into groups that could get more done and couldn’t be traced to any one company. He created the National Environmental Development Association (NEDA), a vaguely pro-environment-sounding name that was actually a coalition of chemical, mining, oil & gas, and ag companies, along with industry-friendly politicians and unions, really anyone who had a bone to pick with the new environmental regulations.Harrison made NEDA the first client of his new PR firm, Harrison & Associates, which he co-founded with his new wife, Patricia. Patricia was very much an equal partner in the firm, and very involved in the NEDA account. Years later she would work as the co-chair of the Republican National Committee and as a staffer in George W. Bush's state department. Her official State Department bioread, “As a founding partner of E. Bruce Harrison Company, among the country’s top ten owner-managed public affairs firms prior to its sale in 1996, she created and directed programs in the public interest comprising diverse stakeholder groups, including the National Environmental Development Association, a partnership of labor, agriculture and industry working for better environmental solutions together.”
They would monitor all proposed environmental policy, brief NEDA members, craft messaging around it and make sure the press had the industry viewpoint on things. They also lobbied members of Congress, and even testified before committees about the economic harm any new environmental regulation would do. Most importantly, NEDA helped to push the idea of balance and necessary trade-offs between protecting health and the environment on one hand, and economic growth on the other. At the same time, the global oil crisis had Americans looking for new forms of domestic energy, which not only spurred research into solar, but also into drilling in previously protected areas. Americans who had been getting into the whole clean air, clean water thing were suddenly rationing gas and getting very worried about losing the American way of life. Meanwhile, research scientists at oil companies and universities were stacking up evidence about a new, far deadlier sort of environmental impact for industry to worry about: the greenhouse effect.
In the 1980s the oil crisis became a glut and oil companies were facing the dual threat of cratering prices and looming environmental regulations. But Harrison and his compatriots had done a fantastic job by this point convincing Americans that regulation was bad for the economy and that the American way of life needed to be protected at all costs, especially with those commie bastards gaining power in Russia and China. 1989, as the world was growing increasingly concerned about global warming and regulation seemed more and more likely, Harrison brought auto makers, manufacturers, utilities, oil, gas, and coal companies together to figure out a strategy. He called it The Global Climate Coalition. And the first thing he did was get its members into the international climate meetings of scientists and politicians that were just starting. GCC members, and Harrison himself, were involved in shaping the UN Framework on Climate Change. They were there weighing in on the very first report from global climate scientists, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report in 1992. They were at the very first international climate conference, the Rio Earth Summit, pushing world leaders to embrace the idea that there was plenty of time to act on climate change, that we shouldn’t risk economic hardship to do it, and that in fact business could be trusted to do this work voluntarily. The group spent about $1 million a year from 1989-1997, the lead-up to Kyoto, in advertising (and $13 million in 1997, as the climate summit drew near). The group spent $63 million in campaign contributions during the 1990s.By this point, Harrison had sold his firm to PR giant Ruder Finn because his wife was elected to co-chair the Republican National Committee and help steer Bush to victory. Harrison stayed on with Ruder Finn to advise on various clients, including his creation the GCC. Bush won, of course, and within weeks of his inauguration had pulled the U.S. out of Kyoto, using Harrison’s favorite argument, that acting on climate change would unnecessarily harm the U.S. economy. In a meeting with representatives from the GCC shortly after, Bush’s State Department told the group that the administration had pulled out of Kyoto at their suggestion, and wondered if the GCC had any ideas for climate policies they would support..Patricia Harrison was rewarded for her election help with a plum assignment in that very same Bush State Department. Bruce went on to create the whole sustainable business ecosystem, earning him the nickname, “the godfather of greenwashing,” which he hated. He eventually became a professor at Georgetown and Patricia was hired as the President of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the public-private partnership that oversees government funding of public media in the U.S. Some critics voiced concern at the time that her time as RNC co-chair would make her too biased for the position. No one knew that she had also helped create the myth of “clean coal,” or that she and her husband were, as one sociologist puts it, “the intellectual parents of climate denial.” Patricia Harrison remains in that position today. E. Bruce Harrison died in January 2021, and was eulogized by national papers as a “pioneer in environmental communications.”==yikes GCC  EBH ~<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

Now, a week after the report’s release, here comes a paper revealing that the IPCC itself has been the target of U.S. vested interests since its inception.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div data-reactid="180" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); box-sizing: border-box;">In 1988, climate scientist James Hansen gave <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1988/06/24/us/global-warming-has-begun-expert-tells-senate.html" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none; box-sizing: border-box;">a stark warning</a> to the U.S. Senate, testifying, “It is time to stop waffling so much and say that the evidence is pretty strong that the greenhouse effect is here.” Later that year, the IPCC was formed to bring the world’s climate scientists together to help inform governments, the media, and the public about climate change. Just one year before all this action on the “greenhouse effect,” global leaders had effectively joined forces to address the hole in the ozone layer, adopting the <a href="https://www.unep.org/ozonaction/who-we-are/about-montreal-protocol" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none; box-sizing: border-box;">Montreal Protocol</a> and agreeing to a mandatory phaseout of the chemicals associated with ozone depletion. Greenhouse gas-emitting industries were very concerned that they would be targeted next. Almost immediately, what environmental sociologists call the “climate countermovement” began to form in response.one key entity in that movement was the Global Climate Coalition, which emerged in 1989 as a project of the National Association of Manufacturers, with founding members from the coal, electric utility, oil and gas, automotive, and rail sectors. Many scholars have noted the influential role the GCC played in obstructing climate policy in the 1990s, but the <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2022.2058815" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none; letter-spacing: 0.01em; box-sizing: border-box;">first peer-reviewed paper</a> on the group, published this week, reveals that the original and lasting intention of the GCC was to push for voluntary efforts only and torpedo international momentum toward setting mandatory limits on greenhouse gas emissions.</div><div data-reactid="191" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); box-sizing: border-box;">Casting doubt on the science was part of that strategy from the beginning — the paper points to a 1994 communications strategy, for example, that suggested industry spokespeople downplay IPCC findings with following talking point: “The IPCC reports no evidence that directly links manmade GHG emissions to changes in global average temperatures.” Also common, though, were the delay tactics we still see today, particularly the economic argument against acting on the climate crisis and the jingoistic argument that America shouldn’t allow the rest of the world to tell it what to do.“People have been very stuck on this idea that the industry strategy went from climate denial to delay,” said the paper’s author, Brown University environmental sociologist Robert Brulle. “That’s historically inaccurate. It was always about delay, and the PR guys viewed casting doubt on climate science as one of their key talking points, but not the only one and not the central one.”Leaning on economic and cultural arguments came naturally for the public relations teams working on climate. Those arguments were <a href="https://rigged.ghost.io/start/" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none; box-sizing: border-box;">first developed</a> to help companies like <a href="https://rigged.ghost.io/ivy-lee-the-godfather/" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none; box-sizing: border-box;">Standard Oil</a> and <a href="https://rigged.ghost.io/edward-bernays-the-freudian-slip/" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none; box-sizing: border-box;">American Tobacco</a> stave off regulation at the turn of the 20th century and have been deployed consistently, and effectively, ever since.</div><div data-reactid="195" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Brulle points to the GCC’s involvement in the passage of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or UNFCCC — the framework underpinning the annual Conference of the Parties meetings of global leaders to discuss international climate commitments — as a prime example of how industries have suggested voluntary action as a way to preempt government regulation. “They supported that because it was toothless. It was all about the need to further study the problem and for corporations and governments to take voluntary action.”Melissa Aronczyk, a media studies scholar at Rutgers University, also documented the influence that the GCC and its primary PR person, E. Bruce Harrison, had on the UNFCCC process in “<a href="https://global.oup.com/academic/product/a-strategic-nature-9780190055356?cc=us&lang=en&" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none; box-sizing: border-box;">A Strategic Nature: Public Relations and the Politics of American Environmentalism</a>,” a new book written with Maria Espinoza. “Harrison was invited as communications counsel to the CEOs who were participating at that Earth Summit in Rio [de Janeiro] in 1992,” Aronczyk explained. That was the summit at which global leaders drafted and adopted the UNFCCC. Notably, the U.N.-appointed organizer of that conference was Maurice Strong, a former oilman who believed that no effective climate treaty could be passed without buy-in from corporate interests....Because business communities had been invited to the conference and because they knew that their buy-in was so important, they planned extensively in the lead-up to the conference to be able to present what they call their own sustainable development charter. It was a nonbinding, nonlegal document that proposed a voluntary, self-regulating approach,” Aronczyk said. “And as you can imagine, this charter did not contain anything that would have really transformed how companies did business. … But it paid a lot of lip service to the idea of going green, and because they got out in front of the actual conference, they were really able to put that document forward and stave off other kinds of more binding legislation.”The GCC worked to steer the Conference of the Parties and the IPCC in this direction as well. Many of the source documents Brulle cites in his paper, including Harrison’s 1994-1995 communications plan for the GCC, show this strategy explicitly. “The economic consequences of future actions by the COP are likely to attract more attention than statements about scientific uncertainties,” Harrison’s plan reads. “Especially if the economic stakes can be made apparent to ‘people on Main Street.’” It goes on to lay out specific messages that GCC members should emphasize to the press, politicians, and the public, including: “Voluntary programs for reducing [greenhouse gas] emissions are allowing industry to balance economics and environmental performance without impairing competitiveness.”What’s also painfully obvious in these documents is just how close the international process came to forcing action on climate in the 1990s — the decade in which it would have had the most impact. The 1994-95 GCC communications plan shows that the group and the industries it represented were losing the fight and that momentum was building for a binding international treaty that would mandate emissions reductions. “Dozens of U.N. agencies, international organizations and special interest groups are driving events — regardless of economic costs and remaining scientific uncertainties — toward a conclusion inimical to the interests of the GCC and the U.S. economy,” the plan reads.</div><div data-reactid="201" style="box-sizing: border-box;">A few pages later it notes, “The window for influencing U.S. decisions on future U.N. actions is relatively narrow. During the next 18-24 months there will be a number of critical decision points as the Parties to the FCCC advance toward the COP’s 1997 deadline for elaborating new policies and measures.”The 1997 Conference of the Parties was, of course, when the <a href="https://unfccc.int/kyoto_protocol" style="text-decoration-line: none; outline: none; box-sizing: border-box;">Kyoto Protocol</a> was introduced; the international agreement mandated emissions reductions for certain countries, something the Clinton administration had already indicated it supported. It was a make-or-break moment for industries concerned about the impact that mandatory emissions reductions would have on their bottom line, and the GCC redoubled its efforts.First it targeted key U.S. politicians. Working with Sens. Chuck Hagel and Robert Byrd, Brulle writes, the group rounded up support for an amendment to set strict criteria for any international climate accord. “This effort contributed to the passage of the Byrd-Hagel Amendment in July 1997,” Brulle writes. “This amendment required that any climate accord would have to include [emissions] reductions by developing countries and could not result in serious harm to the U.S. economy. These provisions damaged the credibility of the U.S. because it showed a lack of consensus among the different branches of government about an international climate accord.”That argument stands in stark contrast to the fossil fuel industry’s narrative today, which holds that out-of-touch climate elitists are trying to force emissions reductions on countries that deserve to use fossil fuels to develop. Passage of the Byrd-Hagel amendment was the GCC’s first big victory after its success in shaping the UNFCCC. In the wake of that victory, GCC members poured $13 million into a PR campaign centered on the argument that the international accord would raise gasoline prices and harm the economy. The tag line of the anti-Kyoto campaign was “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kxk_c3BcE8" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none; box-sizing: border-box;">It’s not global and it won’t work.</a>”“They get a map of the globe and they start cutting out the countries that don’t have to comply,” Brulle said. “And then they hold up this map with all of these holes in it, and they said, ‘This is unfair. It won’t work and it’s not fair.’ And that’s what they ran on. And guess what? It works! It was very effective. And you still hear that today when folks argue against climate policy by saying, ‘What about China? What about India?’”The group also commissioned third-party economists and policy analysts to bolster its argument that mandatory emissions cuts would spell death for the American economy. “It was very much, play up the economic impact, play up the threat to the ‘American way of life,’” Brulle said. “When you can attack the science, do that, but always, always play up the economics.”That’s particularly interesting in the context of recent research in which some of the same economists the GCC hired have admitted that their models were deeply flawed. The paper “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09644016.2021.1947636" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none; box-sizing: border-box;">Weaponizing Economics</a>,” published last year by Stanford University researcher Ben Franta, shows that the economists working for the GCC and other anti-climate policy groups in the 1990s were using models that inflated the cost of climate policy while ignoring entirely the economic benefit of avoiding climate impacts.Franta found that the same small group of economists was being routinely commissioned not only by the GCC but also the American Petroleum Institute (a founding GCC member) and various conservative think tanks; every time a policy was proposed that would limit carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gas emissions, this same model would get trotted out, and industry spokespeople and politicians would warn that acting on climate change would put companies out of business and cost the average American family thousands of dollars.“Eventually their analyses became conventional wisdom,” Franta said. “The scientific merchants of doubt ultimately failed; their power waned. But this, the economics part, their power did not really wane in the same way. And you know, the implications are larger. I mean, it’s a fraudulent economic product. And now we have economists who worked on those models saying, by their own admission, that this analysis that showed it would be too expensive to act on climate is not true. And this has been going on for decades. So now the question is, what do we do about this?”Brulle’s recent findings make it that much more concerning that the IPCC allowed mentions of obstructionism and vested interests to be scrubbed from its summary for policymakers. “That document was like Star Wars without Darth Vader,” he said. “This research gives us a history of what actually happened. It puts Darth Vader back in the story.”</div>=sw<div id="mw-content-text" lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="direction: ltr; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The name E Bruce Harrison often refers both to a Washington-based public relations practitioner, and the company he established in 1973 --the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E_Bruce_Harrison_Company" title="E Bruce Harrison Company" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">E Bruce Harrison Company</a> -- which led the early fight against the early environmental activism on behalf of the chemical industry.[<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/SourceWatch:Citation_needed" title="SourceWatch:Citation needed" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">citation needed</a>] It later became well known for the establishment of policy groups and coalitions of companies with environmental issues and problems.Despite the patriarchial company name, this company was very much a partnership between Bruce and his wife Patricia (ex-Patricia de Stacy).

Kennedy in 1960, he joined the Manufacturing Chemists Association (now American Chemistry Council), where was initially appointed "director of environmental information" to work with the chemical industry team, responding to the public relations crisis created by Rachel Carson and her classic 1962 environmental book, Silent Spring.A few years after the Harrison firm's founding, the company was incorporated into the Pinnacle Group, and later it was sold to Ruder Finn. <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-55610053.html" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: linear-gradient(transparent, transparent) right center no-repeat, url(" data:image="data:image" svg="svg" xml="xml" c="C" fxml="Fxml" version="version" d="D" encoding="encoding" utf-8="UTF-8" standalone="standalone" no="no" f="F" e="E" csvg="Csvg" http="http" a="A" fwww.w3.org="Fwww.w3.org" f2000="F2000" fsvg="Fsvg" width="width" height="height" cpath="Cpath" fill="fill" fff="fff" stroke="stroke" m1.5="M1.5" h5.982v10.5h1.5z="h5.982V10.5H1.5z" m5.765="M5.765" h11v5.39l9.427="H11v5.39L9.427" l-1.31-1.31l5.393="l-1.31-1.31L5.393" l-2.69-2.688="l-2.69-2.688" l4.2="L4.2" z="z" m9.995="M9.995" l.022="l.022" l8.2="L8.2" l2.882-2.88-1.85-1.852z="l2.882-2.88-1.85-1.852z" padding-right="padding-right" px="px" xmlns="xmlns" xmlns:data="data">[4]</a><h2 style="background: none; font-weight: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0.25em; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(170, 170, 170); line-height: 1.3;">Coalition foundations</h2>For many years the company specialized in the creation of industry-wide 'umbrella' activities and ideologically based political campaigns. In its political activities, it had the support of companies like Coors the brewers and RJ Reynolds tobacco, who are active promoters of unrestrained free-market movements, reduction in taxes, and small government.[<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/SourceWatch:Citation_needed" title="SourceWatch:Citation needed" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">citation needed</a>]One of the company's umbrella organizations was the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Total_Indoor_Environmental_Quality" title="Total Indoor Environmental Quality" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Total Indoor Environmental Quality</a> (TIEQ) coalition of tobacco companies, fiber (asbestos and other) manufacturers, carpet makers, office equipment manufacturers and airlines. These companies all had problems with volatile chemicals from their products, or the need to influence workplace Indoor Air Quality legislation.[<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/SourceWatch:Citation_needed" title="SourceWatch:Citation needed" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">citation needed</a>] The firm's primary client, which existed for more than 20 years, was the National Environmental Development Association, a broad coalition of industry, agriculture and labor representatives dedicated to "balance" of environmental, energy and economic factors in public policy.<h2 style="background: none; font-weight: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0.25em; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(170, 170, 170); line-height: 1.3;">Greenwashing</h2>By the late 1970s, however, Harrison realized that attacking environmentalists had its downside, and he began advising his clients in the art of corporate camouflage--a strategy that environmental groups have labeled "<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Greenwashing" title="Greenwashing" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">greenwashing</a>." The greenwashing strategy emerged at the same time that the environmental movement was undergoing an internal transformation. What began as a popular grassroots movement began to institutionalize itself. A handful of giant organizations emerged as "leaders" within the movement, paying six-figure salaries to their executives and raising hundreds of millions of dollars per year from direct mail campaigns, foundations and corporate donors."The activist movement that began in the early 1960s ... succumbed to success over ... the last 15 years," Harrison proclaimed in his 1993 book, Going Green. He observed that although the big environmental groups are formally incorporated as nonprofit organizations, their size and inertia have transformed them into business ventures themselves. Fundraising, he observed, had become their real primary mission. As he put it, the environmental movement's most pressing need was "not to green, but to ensure the wherewithal that enable it to green." The need for money and a "respectable" public image, he said, provided the motivation for green bureaucrats to sit down and cut deals with industry.[<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/SourceWatch:Citation_needed" title="SourceWatch:Citation needed" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">citation needed</a>]In the years since Harrison wrote Going Green, his advice has become gospel not just in the corporate suites of his clients, but in the offices of the large, Washington-based environmental groups he wrote about. Corporate partnerships have come to be viewed not just as a source of funding but even as a source of legitimation, as a sign of "success" and accomplishment. An environmental group that forms a partnership with <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/McDonald%27s" title="McDonald's" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">McDonald's</a> or International Paper usually gets some kind of concession from the company, however trivial, which the organization can tout as proof of its ability to tame the corporate beast.<h2 style="background: none; font-weight: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0.25em; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(170, 170, 170); line-height: 1.3;">Current</h2>After the sale of his company Harrison worked as a part-time Executive Director of the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Arthur_W.Page_Society" title="Arthur W.

<a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E_Bruce_Harrison_Company">https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E_Bruce_Harrison_Company</a>The PR company (often known just as EBH) was founded by E. Bruce Harrison and his wife Patricia, not long after the appearance of Rachel Carson's book "Silent Spring", with its condemnation pf the indiscriminate use of DDT and other pesticides and herbicies. EBH quickly rose to lead the American chemical industry's fightback against the environmental movement.Some of the company's more infamous exploits were to create and run the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Total_Indoor_Environmental_Quality" title="Total Indoor Environmental Quality" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Total Indoor Environmental Quality</a> (TIEQ) Coalition for RJ Reynolds Tobacco, and also the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=National_Environmental_Development_Association&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="National Environmental Development Association (page does not exist)" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">National Environmental Development Association</a> (NEDA) for the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Chemical_Manufacturers_Association" title="Chemical Manufacturers Association" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Chemical Manufacturers Association</a> (CMA) and the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Synthetic_Organic_Chemical_Manufacturers_Association&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturers Association (page does not exist)" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturers Association</a> (SOCMA). This operation seems to have been financed by <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Paul_Oreffice&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Paul Oreffice (page does not exist)" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Paul Oreffice</a> the CEO of Dow Chemicals.The TIEQ serviced primarily the tobacco industry and the related NEDA serviced the chemical/pesticides industry. The two organisations were often treated as one: NEDA/TIEQ, and in fact they were largely fictitious organisations, which existed mainly as meetings of executives and lobbyists, planning tactics and strategies.The EBH company was later sold by Bruce Harrison and his wife Patricia, initially to Pinnacle, which then on-sold it to Ruder Finn (aka Ruder & Finn). It has now been merged into the global Omnicon group of advertising, polling and PR companies -- one of the three major global media-supply conglomerates that dominate this backroom operation feeding the world's media.<table width="30%" bgcolor="#EEEEDD" border="1" rules="all" cellpadding="5" align="right"><tbody><tr bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><th>RELATED ENTRIES</th></tr><tr><td>The man: <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E.Bruce_Harrison" title="E.

self promotion?https://twitter.com/ebharrisonhttps://books.google.com/books?id=AFvZb3PoghwCGreen Backlash: Global Subversion of the Environmental Movement By Andrew Rowell 1996This text presents a controversial expose of the rise of the anti-environmental movement in the USA and its rapid spread worldwide. Rowell reveals how extreme violence, threats and international scapegoating and polarization seek to intimidate activists into inactivity and silence over oil company operations in Nigeria, the UK anti-roads movement, Canadian and Australian forestry and European marine resource disputes, Brent Spar and other recent controversies. The tide is turning against environmentalism as the political Right, industry and governments fight back. The backlash is set to get worse as resource wars intensify. But by offering a greater understanding of the challenges and threats facing global environmentalism, this book presents the environmental movement with a chance to reevaluate and change to beat the backlash before it is too late. https://books.google.com/books?id=AFvZb3PoghwC&dq=e+bruce+harrison+vista+chemical&source=gbs_navlinks_sgreenpeace pdf 1995?some read errorsAS8 Capital ManagementATOTAlr ProductsAmerican Auto.
