Contents Notes | Fronting for industry -- The wise use movement -- Lawsuits against public participation -- Conservative think-tanks -- Think-tanks and the environment -- The public relations industry -- Public relations strategies -- Scientific controversy : dioxin -- Advertisers : getting them young -- Advertisers : influence and strategies -- The media : corporate influences -- Reporting on the environment -- Global warming : corporate-sponsored confusion -- 'Greenwashing' an olympic-sized toxic dump -- From green warriors to 'greenwashers.' "Global Spin shows how, in a relentless assault on democracy and its institutions, the massive, covert power of large corporations has enabled corporate agendas to dominate the international debate about the state of the environment and the most effective means of solving environmental problems. This updated edition includes new chapters about the business campaign to prevent action on global warming, and whether Greenpeace's ideals are being compromised by 'greenwash'."--Jacket. |
