Hey Google! Don't Fund Inhofe!
Cancel your July 11 fundraiser for Senator Jim Inhofe and pledge to never fund climate change deniers again.
Why is this important?
Google's motto is "Don't Be Evil," but on July 11, Google is hosting a $250-$2500 per plate fundraiser for one of the worst climate change deniers in the world: Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK). Google was also the biggest donor to the Competitive Enterprise Institute's recent annual dinner, giving $50,000 to this anti-science group.
Sen. Inhofe has claimed: "CO2 does not cause catastrophic disasters ... actually, it would be beneficial to our environment and the economy."
Google chairman Eric Schmidt has said: "You can lie about the effects of climate change, but eventually you'll be seen as a liar."
Google has been a corporate leader in fighting climate change pollution, and its support for liars like Inhofe is a glaring mistake.
