People for the American Way RightWingWatch, Fall 2008 Richard Land, For instance, a few weeks ago we wrote about the American

Environmental Coalition, a group founded by right-wing stalwarts like Pat Robertson, Paul Weyrich, and Gary Bauer which was created to “bring

 balance to the debate” about climate change by essentially denying the existence of global warming and fighting against efforts to address it. ...

Right off the bat, they found a champion in militant global-warming skeptic Sen. Jim Inhofe … but apparently one phony right-wingenvironmental group just wasn’t getting the job done and now Inhofe ... The "We Get It" campaign coalition includes Senator James Inhofe,

Cornwall Alliance, Institute on Religion and Democracy, Family Research Council, Focus on the Family, and Wallbuilders. Janet Parshall, Joel

Belz of World Magazine, Acton Institute and Dr. Richard Land have also joined this monumental movement.

To be on list - - had to at some point deny global warming existed or facilitated misinformation campaigns about global warming. Otherwise known as

mate change skeptics. MORE at NFU Environment page  Global Warming Deniers List

obal Climate Coalition Union of Concerned Scientists

unded in 1989 by 46 corporations and trade associations representing all major elements of US industry, the GCC presents itself as a "voice for 

siness in the global warming debate." The group funded several flawed studies on the economics of the cost of mitigating climate change, which

rmed the basis of their 1997/1998 multi-million dollar advertising campaign against the Kyoto Protocol. The GCC began to unravel in 1997 when

itish Petroleum withdrew its membership. Since then many other corporations have followed BP s lead and left the coalition. This exodus reached a

vered pitch in the early months of 2000 when DaimlerChrysler, Texaco and General Motors all announced their exodus from the GCC. Since these

sertions, the GCC restructured and remains a powerful and well-funded force focused on obstructing meaningful efforts to mitigate climate change.

in: Global Warming is real, but it is too expensive to do anything about. The Kyoto Protocol is fundamentally flawed.

nding: Corporate members (industries, trade associations etc.)

eorge Marshall Institute

his conservative think tank shifted its focus from Star Wars to climate change in the late 1980s. In 1989, the Marshall Institute released a report

aiming that "cyclical variations in the intensity of the sun would offset any climate change associated with elevated greenhouse gases." Though refuted 

the IPCC, the report was very influential in influencing the Bush Sr. Administration s climate change policy. The Marshall Institute has since

blished numerous reports downplaying the severity of global climate change.

in: Blame the Sun. The Kyoto Protocol is fatally flawed.

ffiliated Individuals: Sallie Baliunas, an astrophysicist from Harvard; and Frederick Seitz.

egon Institute of Science and Medicine

he Marshall Institute co- sponsored with the OISM a deceptive campaign -- known as the Petition Project - - to undermine and discredit the scientific

thority of the IPCC and to oppose the Kyoto Protocol. Early in the spring of 1998, thousands of scientists around the country received a mass mailing

ging them to sign a petition calling on the government to reject the Kyoto Protocol. The petition was accompanied by other pieces including an article

rmatted to mimic the journal of the National Academy of Sciences. Subsequent research revealed that the article had not been peer-reviewed, nor 

blished, nor even accepted for publication in that journal and the Academy released a strong statement disclaiming any connection to this effort and 

affirming the reality of climate change. The Petition resurfaced in 2001.

in: There is no scientific basis for claims about global warming. IPCC is a hoax. Kyoto is flawed.

nding: Petition was funded by private sources.

ffiliated Individuals: Arthur B. Robinson, Sallie L. Baliunas, Frederick Seitz

ience and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP)

unded in 1990 by widely publicized climate skeptic S. Fred Singer, SEPP s stated purpose is to "document the relationship between scientific data and 

e development of federal environmental policy." SEPP has mounted a sizeable media campaign -- publishing articles, letters to the editor, and a large

mber of press releases -- to discredit the issues of global warming, ozone depletion, and acid rain.

in: Moreover, climate change won t be bad for us anyway. Action on climate change is not warranted because of shaky science and flawed policy

proaches.

nding: Conservative foundations including Bradley, Smith Richardson, and Forbes. SEPP has also been directly tied to ultra right-wing mogul

verend Sung Myung Moon s Unification Church, including receipt of a year s free office space from a Moon-funded group and the participation of 

EPP s director in church-sponsored conferences and on the board of a Moon- funded magazine.

ffiliated Individuals:S. Fred Singer,Frederick Seitz

eening Earth Society

he Greening Earth Society (GES) was founded on Earth Day 1998 by the Western Fuels Association to promote the view that increasing levels of 

mospheric CO2 are good for humanity. GES and Western Fuels are essentially the same organization. Both used to be located at the same office suite

Arlington, VA. Until December 2000, Fred Palmer chaired both institutions. The GES is now chaired by Bob Norrgard, another long-term Western

els associate. The Western Fuels Assocation (WFA) is a cooperative of coal-dependent utilities in the western states that works in part to discredit

mate change science and to prevent regulations that might damage coal-related industries.

in: CO2 emissions are good for the planet; coal is the best energy source we have.

ffiliated Individuals: Patrick Michaels, Robert Balling, David Wojick, Sallie Baliunas, Sylvan Wittwer, John Daley, Sherwood Idso

nding: The Greening Earth Society receives its funding from the Western Fuels Association, which in turn receives its funding from its coal and utility

mpany members.

nter for the Study of Carbon Dioxide & Global Change

he Center claims to "disseminate factual reports and sound commentary on new developments in the world -wide scientific quest to determine the

mactic and biological consequences of the ongoing rise in the air's CO2 content." The Center is led by two brothers, Craig and Keith Idso. Their father,

erwood Idso, is affiliated with the Greening Earth Society; the Center also shares a board member (Sylvan Wittwer) with GES. Both Idso brothers

ve been on the Western Fuels payroll at one time or another.

in: Increased levels of CO2 will help plants, and that's good.

nding: The Center is extremely secretive of its funding sources, stating that it is their policy not to divulge it funders. There is evidence for a strong

nnection to the Greening Earth Society (ergo Western Fuels Association).

ffiliated Individuals: Craig Idso, Keith Idso, Sylvan Wittwer

bacco industry's disinformation tactics, as well as some of the same organizations and personnel, to cloud the scientific understanding of climate
