Review
"""Two Vancouver public relations professionals take a hard look at the role PR has played in stirring up doubt and piling on controversy in the climate change debate and how the mainstream media have responded to the onslaught. The writers, who also collaborate on www.desmogblog.com, hope to end the debate by exposing cases of public manipulation and private-interest deceit.""" (Granville Magazine 2009-12-01)

"""Climate Cover-Up is a must-read for anyone who's concerned about the biggest effort ever at media manipulation by the world's most powerful corporations...Hoggan's book is really about how a vast conspiracy has been undertaken by corporations opposed to reducing greenhouse gasses and pollution to convince the media that everything is just fine.""" (24 Hours 2009-10-20)
