| | [[Image: 50yearsofharm-rally-900x508.jpg |270 px|center]] “Now, more than ever, is the time for states to lead.” This assertion by leaders of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) opens the organization’s Essential Policy Solutions playbook for 2025. |

|
| In Arizona, ALEC lawmakers will hear from a number of prominent speakers in corporate-sponsored plenary sessions and workshops, then retreat into "task force" meetings to vote as equals on "model bills" with corporate lobbyists and special interest groups.

| [[Image:ExxonMobil-ALEC-logo270px.jpg|270|center]]The Center for Media and Democracy, a national watchdog group exposing corporate influence on democracy, has [http://www.prwatch.org/files/11-16-15_cmd_letter_to_ny_ag-final.pdf submitted evidence] to New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman showing how Exxon Mobil has promoted climate change denial through the [http://www.alecexposed.org/ American Legislative Exchange Council] (ALEC). CMD believes this information is relevant to the landmark investigation into whether Exxon Mobil deceived its shareholders and the public about the impact that burning fossil fuels has on climate change. | | [[Image: Grand-Coulee-Dam-workers-Library-of-Congress-900x508.jpg |270 px|center]] Contractors engaged in large federal construction projects can’t be required to enter collective bargaining agreements with building trade unions, a federal claims court ruled last week. |
| | |
| CMD has identified at least $1,730,200 in funding from Exxon Mobil to ALEC between 1998 and 2014, based on publicly available disclosures, although the actual total is likely higher. CMD has documented Exxon funding for ALEC at least as early as 1981.
| |
|
| |
|
| This funding makes Exxon Mobil one of ALEC's biggest financial supporters as ALEC has promoted legislation, resolutions, presentations, and publications seeking to stop efforts to address climate change, and has indoctrinated thousands of state legislators with the idea that "a great deal of scientific uncertainty" surrounds the science of climate change and that carbon emissions "may even be beneficial."

| [[Image:Climatehustler270.png|center|frame]]Climate change denier [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Marc_Morano Marc Morano] of the fossil-fuel funded [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Committee_for_a_Constructive_Tomorrow Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow] (CFACT) will feature a new "documentary film" called "[http://climatehustler.org/ Climate Hustle]" in his latest attempt to promote his destructive climate change denial agenda. The [http://climatehustler.org/ film] is due to be shown to a public audience for the first time on December 7 at the [http://www.whynotproductions.fr/pantheon/ Cinéma du Panthéon ]in Paris at the same time as the upcoming United Nations climate talks.

| "While Climate Hustle claims to feature interviews with scientists, Morano fails to explain that these characters are not among the respected mainstream climate science community, but rather a collection of washed-up scientists with no expertise in climate science, or a biased view based on ideological or industry-funded bias," writes DeSmogBlog, which has created a new website "[http://climatehustler.org/ Climate Hustler]" to expose the truth about the film and Morano's climate change denial.
