Today, Google is promoting a prominent speech by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who denies the reality of climate change and held the government hostage for weeks in a failed attempt to kill universal health care. Cruz, who has received $12,500 in campaign funding from Google, is the main attraction at this year's American Legislative Exchange Council summit in Washington, D.C...There is simply no squaring the moral ambition of the "Don't Be Evil" motto of Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin with funding for a group that promotes "The Many Benefits of Increased Atmospheric CO2." ALEC is exactly who Google Chairman Eric Schmidt was talking about when he said at a recent Google symposium: "You can lie about the effects of climate change, but eventually you'll be seen as a liar."
