It takes a billionaire, maybe two or three, to fight the obvious notion that burning huge quantities of oil in vehicles, homes and factories is fueling climate change. The secretive, mega-billionaire Koch brothers are ready for the challenge. As mentioned earlier (August 24 LINK), David and Charles Koch are beginning to get more attention as major patrons of tea party organizers and a host of right-wing organizations that focus on stoking anti-tax, anti-regulation, anti-government sentiment. Koch Industries is a diverse conglomerate but still relies heavily on its oil and gas roots for the fuel to keep expanding. Greenpeace has a wonderful report tracking the political contributions, lobbying expenses and a labyrinth of nonprofit operations the Koch family use to fight global warming, promote rightist politicians and run public-relations smear campaigns. Their moral compass apparently got lost some years ago.

Is Democracy NC concerned about the efforts of George Soros with regards to the many non profits advocating programs that are destructive to our way of life? Soros is a billionaire who is trying to influence our politics for left wing policies.
