persuaded to doubt what they knew!!!
What happened in the 1990s? Most dramatically, the fossil fuel and
allied industries got into gear. The momentum to support and expand the
existing fossil fuel economy was boosted by neo-liberal think tanks and
insistent sceptics, in sympathy with free market economic ideology. They
mounted a potent and high-level lobbying campaign aimed at federal politicians.
Coal, oil, natural gas and other extractive industries, along with other
multinational corporations, such as the energy-intensive aluminium smelting
industry, got organised and exerted considerable influence on government,
particularly after 1995 (Hamilton 2001; Pearse 2007).
