Ford Quits Climate-Denying Lobby Group

Accepted submission by Phoenix666 at 2016-02-23 13:34:29

It wasn't entirely shocking when Google quit the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) [treehugger.com], openly accusing the group of lying about climate change. But when oil companies started leaving too [treehugger.com], it really did start to look like the writing was on the wall for hardcore climate denialism.

Now Cleantechnica reports that Ford is calling it quits too [cleantechnica.com], refusing to renew its membership in the group [treehugger.com] which has pushed hard against renewable energy mandates and incentives, and which has been linked to efforts to muddy the issue of climate change education too [treehugger.com].
