Talk:Competitive Enterprise Institute
I've been trying to add this to the "Political and economic thinktanks" category, but when I put that tag at the bottom of the article (with or without letting the stub tag remain), it creates a new article section entitled "Canadian think tanks". Clearly there are still some bugs to be worked out in the new wiki software. LeoO3 28 June 2005 23:29 (UTC)

POV problems
Large sections of this article are direct and unacknowledged repetitions of material from the CEI website. This raises POV problems JQ 10:35, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
This Article is Extremely Dubious
This really needs flagging or removal. As someone has already pointed out, it is just a regurgitated PR statement. It is very misleading about the current state of scientific opinion regarding the causes and effects of global warming Doc Meroe 01:00, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. I'll tackle this wehn I get a moment JQ 01:57, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- It still reads like a press-release, but it's a little cleaner now. Can anyone add to the Critism section? Darren Hooser
- The CEI article is on a par with the article on Intelligent Design and Holocaust Denial.
- Organizations that have been created specifically for the purpose of sowing FUD should never be subject to a discussion as to whether the article is heavy on POV. Reality is a POV that we should all share. Trashing junk science is a service to society.
- How in the world is it bad to point out that in 2005 the major scientific societies came to a consensus on globabl warming and that in 2006 the consensus was firmed to the point that statements were made urging everybody concerned to take immediate action? Sure there was a lot of give and take between the early ninties and now over whether it was happening. Mostly it was based on issues of instruments and adjusting long baseline observations. The arguments of scientists over whether or not the Soviet base was as good as they said they were or how much sattelites drifted in their orbits should not be interpreted as "debunking the myth of global warming."
- There simply are organizations in the US that are corporate prostitutes. CEI is one. Why agonize over it?

Propoganda
This page should be categorized under propoganda. I think that would be fair.
^^^ I agree. Just check this article: http://www.aranta.net/Articles/Wag%20The%20Whaley%20or%20Me%20&%20Mikkky%20Dee.html - Mangle
