The Yes Men Pull Off Prank Claiming US Chamber of Commerce Had Changed Its Stance on Climate Change

The business community got a shock on Monday when its leading advocacy group appeared to make a startling announcement. A statement purporting to come from the Chamber of Commerce said the group had dropped its opposition to congressional climate change legislation and would now even support taxing carbon emissions. The news wires quickly picked up the story, and within minutes it was being reported on the websites of outlets including the New York Times and Washington Post. It also made its way onto cable news, including the Fox Business Network. It was all a prank pulled off by the Yes Men.

  • I love what the Yes Men did here; it was a great form of protest of the Chamber of Commerce. These are the types of disruptions that need to take place on Wall Street and in corporate board meetings across this country until the greedy, corrupt corporate idiots begin to feel the public's rage.
