<br><br>Details:<br>CEI TO LAUNCH NATIONAL GLOBAL WARMING AD CAMPAIGN <br>Ads Countering Global Warming Alarmism to be Unveiled at May 17 News Conference <br>The Competitive Enterprise Institute will unveil a national global warming
<br>ad campaign at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, Wednesday, <br>May 17, 2006 at noon. CEI has produced two 60-second television ads <br>focusing on global warming alarmism and the call by some environmental <br>
groups and politicians to reduce fossil fuel use and carbon dioxide <br>emissions. The ads will air in more than a dozen cities around the <br>country beginning May 18, 2006. "The campaign to limit carbon dioxide <br>emissions is the single most important regulatory issue today," says
<br>Marlo Lewis, a CEI senior fellow in environmental policy. "It is <br>nothing short of an attempt to suppress energy use, which in turn would <br>be economically devastating—all to avert an alleged catastrophe whose <br>
scientific basis is dubious." In CEI's view, claims of looming climate <br>disaster due to energy use are unfounded. One of the ads focuses on the <br>extent to which the public has received only one side of the glacial <br>
melting issue. CEI's national ad campaign, produced with Washington, <br>DC-based Next Generation Advertising, is the first to counter the flood <br>of scare stories on global warming.<br>Contact: Jody Clarke @331-2259 </font>
