Big CO2 industries caught in outright lie

At the same time members of the Global Climate Coalition were denying anthropogenic global warming, for public consumption, internally, their own in-house scientists were admitting nearly 15 years ago the possibility was real, scientifically grounded, and potentially serious:
“The scientific basis for the Greenhouse Effect and the potential impact of human emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO2 on climate is well established and cannot be denied,” the experts wrote in an internal report compiled for the coalition in 1995.

Just like Big Tobacco on suppressing scientific evidence. The global-warming denialists of industry have long been compared to Philip Morris, but now we realize just how apt that is, with the smoking gun smokestack and exhaust pipe now visible.
