And while Mitt Romney has flip-flopped on these issues, he has surrounded himself with people tied to the climate denial industry.

6. Andrea Saul and DCI spearheaded climate change denial propaganda at Romney campaign and Exxon:

1) Created phony astroturf Tech Central Station website as a forum for climate deniers
2) Used Oregon Climate Service Manager George Taylor as an "expert" to refute Arctic ice melt (Taylor advised Oregon farmers on weather conditions)
3) Worked with Exxon and Heartland Institute to promote attacks on the Clean Air Act
4) Director of media affairs for McCain/Palin
