Astroturf Climate Denial Org Hires Faux Disney Princess To Talk About Deadly, Deadly Wind Turbines
You really can't make this shit up.
“Wind turbines pose a significant risk for birds and bats,” reads Mary-Jean Harris, who until recently ran Fairytale Princess Parties, which dispatched Disney princess cosplayers like Mary-Jean to children’s parties. (More on this later.) Now, sadly sans fanciful dresses and accessories, erstwhile princess Mary-Jean Harris appears to have been captured and held in a tower, forced to make climate denial YouTube videos.
With the screen presence of a hostage making awkward, direct eye contact with camera, broken only to check the script, she reads a claim that “fatalities to birds and bats caused by wind turbines far exceeds those caused by collisions with communication towers, power lines, windows, and cats,” which is wrong by several orders of magnitude and ignores the fact that fossil fuels are far more dangerous. Who is forcing this once-noble professional princess impersonator to star in a most ignoble fossil fuel propaganda production?
In concluding, she reveals her captors: “To learn more about this and other topics in climate change, please visit icsc-canada.com.” ICSC stands for the International Climate Science Coalition, and like so many climate denial coalitions these days, it exists less as a group of like-minded advocacy organizations, and more a Canadian version of the sort of “shadowy groups” that companies like ExxonMobil use to advance their interests.
Before you mount a rescue mission though, we should note that all jokes aside, Mary-Jean has not, of course, been taken prisoner. Instead, she appears to be working for family, as she bears an undeniable likeness to (and a last name with) ICSC’s Tom Harris, an engineer-turned-career PR man, spending his days pushing industry-friendly propaganda. And it turns out quackery runs in the family, as googling Mary-Jean brought up her extensive goodreads profile (she’s a historical fantasy author!) and this gem of a headline from VICE World News, starring none other than Mary-Jean Harris: Anti-Maskers Have Weaponized Disney Princesses.
