2010 Green Book Festival Winners

SAN FRANCISCO (May 3, 2010) _ The 2010 Green Book Festival has named “Climate Cover-Up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming” as the winner of its annual competition honoring books that contribute to greater understanding, respect for and positive action on the changing worldwide environment.

Written by James Hoggan with Richard Littlemore, the book probes a campaign of disinformation surrounding climate change created by those with a vested interest in the status quo.

Hoggan, who owns a Vancouver public relations firm, pinpoints specific efforts to deny the scientific consensus that humans are endangering the planet. The resulting pollution of the public conversation with partisan politics, disinformation, paid consultants disguised as experts and other tactics designed to create doubt is a frightening tale of spin doctoring disguised as truth.

Hoggan and Littlemore, along with other competition victors, will be honored at a private reception in San Francisco on May 15. More information on the festival is at www.greenbookfestival.com.
