A growing number of Americans doubt the urgency or existence of man-made global warming. On Tuesday, October 23, PBS Frontline took a look at the men and women who have helped shift public opinion—chief among them, CEI’s Myron Ebell.
Myron Ebell responds to Frontline in a CEI LibertyWeek Podcast here. Watch “Climate of Doubt” yourself and tell us what you think on Twitter or Facebook. Was Frontline fair to questioners and dissenters?
Fred Smith is the animating spirit at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Fred conceived of the idea for an organization that would, in his words, “find a more positive answer to the challenge Joseph Schumpeter laid down in his essay, “Can Capitalism Survive?” He founded the organization and served as president for nearly three decades.
He died at the age of 83 at home in Maryland where he is survived by his beloved wife Fran. Fred was a friend and mentor, an advocate and ally, and an inspiration. His bright light lives on in our work.
