Romney Spokeswoman Promoted Climate Denial on Behalf of Exxon

Andrea Saul is the press secretary and chief spokesperson for Gov. Mitt Romney's presidential campaign. But before Romney hired her, Saul worked for a DC-based public affairs and lobbying firm that worked to undermine climate science on behalf of corporations like ExxonMobil, according to a detailed new report from Greenpeace's Polluter Watch project.
While working for DCI Group, Saul worked on anti-climate-science campaigns on behalf of Exxon. That included creating the faux news site Tech Central Station, which was used to promote columns from climate deniers like Willie Soon and Pat Michaels. Saul is listed as the contact person on the archived version of the Tech Central page. 
if this is true than it's more evidence of climate denial so as not to provoke "regulation" on the big oil business, which is a front burner issue for the republican party. "we the people" are just collateral damage.
we have been big business's personal thorn in their side, if not for us look how much bribe money they would save, no regulation no one sues rich man's heaven.                      
In late 2006, Saul also handled press for group of 17 climate skeptics who were trying to get the American Meteorological Society to weaken its statement on climate change by adding terms like "data uncertainty issues," "natural variability," and "imperfect climate models."
