This is the third in a three part video series that looks at the ethical obnoxiousness of the climate change disinformation campaign. All three of these are available on http://ethicsandclimate.org. The first in the series introduced the concept of the disinformation campaign that has been described in a rich sociological literature while explaining why this movement has been so ethically abhorrent. The second entry looked at some of the specific tactics of this campaign while distinguishing this phenomenon from responsible skepticism. This entry continues the examination of specific tactics and concludes with lessons learned about this disinformation campaign.
To view the other two videos in this series see the two proceeding entries on this website.
A much more detailed four part written analysis of the disinformation campaign is available on this website under the category of “climate disinformation.”
The series is:
1. Ethical Analysis of the Climate Change Disinformation Campaign: Introduction to A Series Series.
4. Irresponsible Skepticism: Lessons Learned From the Climate Disinformation Campaign

Thank you so much for this and this series. It may be time for us to revive some forgotten verbs: to abet and to suborn
suborn is to bribe or induce someone to commit an unlawful act such as perjury.
abet is to help or encourage someone to do something illegal
