# Talk:Merchants of Doubt

It’s 2019 now, folks.  Everyone now knows that the George C. Marshall Institute and Fred Singer are inveterate climate deniers. Should we really be highlighting this fringe POV in the lead? Viriditas (talk) 19:22, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Similar conclusions were already drawn, among others on Frederick Seitz and William Nierenberg in the book Requiem for a Species: Why We Resist the Truth about Climate Change (2010) by Australian academic Clive Hamilton.
Both books were published in 2010. Even if Hamilton's book was published earlier in the same year, that seems too late for likely influence. Shouldn't we say "Similar conclusions were also drawn..."? Daask (talk) 13:06, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
