The Competitive Enterprise Institute [3] (CEI) think tank [4], whose donors include Exxon Mobil [5] and the American Petroleum Institute [6], is running a television ad campaign [7] "targeting global warming [8] 'alarmists,' especially Al Gore [9]." Reuters reports, "The spots are timed to precede next week's theatrical release of An Inconvenient Truth [10], a documentary film on global warming that features Gore." In one ad, "a little girl blows away dandelion fluff as an announcer says, 'Carbon dioxide: they call it pollution; we call it life.'" As Think Progress notes [11], CEI "believes the dangers of global warming are akin 'to that of "an alien invasion."'"
