This is ignoring that prominent AGW advocates like James Hansen are opposing cap and trade. The failure to pass action is entirely the fault of these environmentalist for refusing any compromise. They try for the home run every time they step to the plate and miss. While a more sensible approach would be to try to reach the first base through any mean possible. If it wasn't for that a carbon tax of about 2$ would have been enacted years ago and would probably had been rose by a few dollars since then. Instead we are in 2009 and their is still no legislation approved. It seems that environmentalist have already found the bogey man for their failure to pass climate change legislation.

I'm not a fan of some of the industry's tactics, but there was no mention of whether or not these self-promotion ads actually make any explicit remarks about GHG legislation.

That doesn't seem right to me. From what you quoted, it seems like they are equating the self-promotion of fossil fuel companies with specifically anti-cap-and-trade advertising.
