The professional climate inactivist movement -- as exemplified by the Heartland Institute, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, Rush Limbaugh, John Theon, etc. etc. etc. -- is an "entertainment industry"? I think that's giving the inactivist movement too much credit.
Because it's primarily a noise industry.
Or, to put it more diplomatically, it's a weird sort of advertisement industry which uses a cocktail of techniques culled from mainstream advertisers, online Viagra peddlers, and Alex Jones.
