The Spectacle Blog
Over at the National Legal & Policy Center blog today I explain how a front group called Climate Counts is acting on behalf of organic yogurt company Stonyfield Farm, which grades other corporations on how well they toe the global warming alarmist line. Their current attack is on McDonald’s, but they offer their allies a simplified means to send hundreds of companies messages that warn “we’re watching you” and how they’d better shape up on the climate issue. Unsurprisingly Climate Counts gives Stonyfield a stellar grade, despite having gone global (requiring tons more in carbon dioxide emissions) in its supply chain.
A hypocritical profit-seeker using a non-profit to push its extremist agenda gives new meaning to “environmental pressure group.”
