Good points, I agree — to a point. I was going to mention the AGW bias in the MSM — which has meant an easy ride for any PR firms on the AGW side. The real challenge has been getting the “denier’s* side out.
Fortunately, the MSM are no longer the only open communications channel. If they won’t carry the message, there are alternatives, such as the “blogosphere”. But, you’re right — it won’t be easy.
Still, this is an opportunity for upstarts.

Re: “Public relations firms have played a critical role over the years in framing the debate on climate change and its solutions as well as the extensive disinformation campaigns launched to block those initiatives.”
I read the whole, rather long, article.
Only one “denier” PR firm is discussed.
That firm works for the American Petroleum Institute, but no examples of “disinformation” are provided.
All the other PR firms in the article are avid supporters of global warming “science,” carbon taxes, alternate energy projects, and stricter environmental laws.
“The Guardian” has no understanding of - or interest in - the fact that 99% of “deniers” get ALL their information from independently funded Conservative websites.
PR firms funded by oil companies have no impact at all on the “Denier vs. Warming” debate.

It's almost like "climate change" is a religious cult or something. Not almost, it IS a religious cult.

So if Christian bakers can be forced to bake a cake for a gay wedding, I would think that PR firms can be forced to accept “climate change deniers” as clients.

Michelle, I believe in climate change, I don't believe humans have any control over it.
Ever hear of the four seasons Michelle?
My ancestors did not cause it.
Try cracking open a book called The Bible. You'll find your culprit for that and more right there.

The idea that Lefties can control "climate change" by controlling the people they hate is rather convenient, isn't it?

Fist time I've seen one of these since the 1960's. Non-Believers are now the new blacks.

This is a great opportunity for some upstart company to become one of the worlds future top PR firms.
Yup. Somewhere out there a bunch of Don Drapers have just started licking their chops.
To: Buckeye McFrog
Why can't they be forced to take clients who are global warming deniers? Cake bakers are forced to produce product for the gays against their will. Why is this any different?
To: Brad from Tennessee
Goody.
An opportunity for a PR firm who isn’t intimidated by frozen faced Cultural Marxists trying to silence opposition to their nonsense extortion gigs.
To: MarineBrat
Climate change has always happened and always will as long as the Earth exists and has a temperatureExactly. But they want us to believe it is all the fault of evil mankind.

If you don’t yell “Burn the witch!” loudly enough, the mob might think you are one.

The AGW debate is now all about the PR. The Global Warmists Global Changers Global Distupters have decided the science is settled. Now the just have to promote their agenda and ignore any evidence that they don't agree with.
