We Call it Lies
You remember the two ads released by the oil industry-funded Competitive Enterprise Institute last week -- the ones that end: Carbon dioxide: They call it a pollutant. We call it life? Well, in one of those ads, fleeting reference is made to scientific research which, the commercial hints, refutes the claims of global warming "alarmists."
Thing is, the author of that research says the ads not only misrepresent his findings, but that his findings in fact support the scientific consensus on global warming. In a press release, Professor Curt Davis says the ads are a "deliberate effort to confuse and mislead the public."

And now for CEI's spin on Davis's statement: seems they understand the research better than the author of it. Incredible!
Now they have another spot accusing Gore of being a hypocrite for flying around the planet to give his slideshow. As if he pretended otherwise in the movie.... Just remember everyone, CO2 is life. Ha!
I am looking for the two ads of CEI (The Competitive Institute). I need the video-documents for educational work (it's not possible to be online, when I will use it).
Are there any possibilities to get those ads (web-sites, via email, video-stream-ripping, etc.). I am using a macintosh.
Looking forward for your answers!
