Talk:Philip Cooney

Untitled

This page is a bit jumbled currently. I think it needs to be reworked to put events into chronological order.

I read about the CEI lawsuit and the Rowe-Blumenthal FOI request in Joseph Romm's 2007 book Hell and High Water. I see the letter from Lieberman addresses both this lawsuit and the Cooney strategy, but I have to spend more time looking at the cited sources to see if any of them tie Cooney himself to the CEI lawsuit.Birdbrainscan 03:56, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I've added a bunch more sources, including links to the original email from Ebell and the press releases by Rowe-Blumenthal. Reading these and the Lieberman letter in full it becomes clear that both they and Greenpeace accused the White House and Cooney in particular of having asked CEI to sue the administration under FDQA. Also I found a copy of Piltz letter to re-link as the old link was broken. It addresses an ongoing pattern of suppression of climate science. It would be interesting to cross check some of the other names he singles out in the rest of that quite long and detailed letter.Birdbrainscan 05:22, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

exxon mobil antipathy

i removed "gaining this company the antipathy of some people." this phrase seemed very strangely placed, seeing as cooney career moove back to the oil industry (as if he ever left it in the first place) was the source of "some people's" antipathy for exxon mobil... gimme a break. "some people" hated exxon mobil for much better reasons, long ago... noone gives a shit about cooney... i mean, they should, but no one hates exxon mobil because of him. it's just unsupported, and ... unsourced, sorry, disinformant.

See also

I think the see also links need to be integrated into the article text. Especially for a biography of a living person, hanging out those loaded terms (even if they accurate) seems to be a problem of context and weight. ChildofMidnight (talk) 08:15, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

In this case the body text fully justifies linking to Climate change denial. It would be better to contextualise in the body text, but it's fine as a See Also here - as the See Also links not removed strongly suggest. Rd232 ^talk 08:29, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Coatrack

This article, rather than being a balanced and neutral biography, is a shameless coatrack for a controversy. It needs to be fleshed out as a biography proper, and the "controversy" section needs to be be integrated with the appropriate weight.  Skomorokh  06:06, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
