Coal industry starts charm offensive on climate change

13/11/2008 - The coal industry has launched a charm offensive to persuade the public it is not a climate change villain.

Full page ads will appear in newspapers on Thursday claiming the industry is doing "a lot" to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The ads are partly aimed at winning support for government subsidies, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, to develop "clean coal" technology which the Australian Coal Industry (ACA) says will work.
