CFACT Eco-Summit in Valle Verde, Mexico

By Christina WilsonCFACT Collegians traveled to Cancun, Mexico for its annual Eco Summit. It sounds glamorous doesn’t it - bright lights, blue water, white beaches and fun in the sun? Not for CFACT.

Patrick Henry CFACT at the Smithsonian

When attendees started entering, the students took position a few feet away from the doors and began passing out a fact sheet tailored to the event.

CFACT's message was that man-made global warming is overblown, that denying native peoples the full use of modern technology is eco-imperialism, and that wind and solar are not environmentally benign. Symposium attendees and other museum goers were very receptive to their message. One school teacher [...]
