Abstract:

Excerpt:
In the early years of DeSmog's research into anti science propaganda, I thought of energy industry PR campaigns such as "junk science," "clean coal," and "ethical oil" as misinformation strategies designed to dupe the public.
Although that's obviously true, I now understand that propaganda is far more complex and problematic than merely lying about the evidence. Certainly propaganda is designed to deceive, but not in a way you might think. What's more, the consequences are far worse than most people who produce and consume it realize.
