  • WeCanSolveIt, Al Gore campaign to solve global climate change   "The We Campaign is a project of The Alliance for Climate Protection -- a nonprofit, nonpartisan effort founded by Nobel laureate and former Vice President Al Gore. The goal of the Alliance is to build a movement that creates the political will to solve the climate crisis -- in part through repowering America with 100 percent of its electricity from clean energy sources within 10 years. Our economy, national security, and climate can’t afford to wait.

  • Skeptical Science Arguments against global warming: 1 It's the sun; 2 Climate's changed before; 3 There is no consensus; 4 It's cooling ; 5 Models are unreliable ; 6 Surface temp is unreliable ; 7 Ice age predicted in the ; 8 We're heading into an ice age ; 9 Al Gore got it wrong ;10 CO2 lags temperature ; 11 It hasn't warmed since 1998 ; 12 Global warming is good ; 13 Antarctica is cooling/gaining ice; 14 Hurricanes aren't linked to global warming ; 15 Mars is warming ; 16 1934 - hottest year on record ; 17 It's freaking cold!; 18 It's cosmic rays; 19 Urban Heat Island effect exaggerates warming ; 20 Other planets are warming ; 21 Greenland was green; 22 Water vapor is the most powerful greenhouse gas ; 23 Hockey stick was debunked; 24 Arctic icemelt is a natural cycle; 25 We're coming out of an ice age ; 26 Human CO2 is a tiny % of CO2 emissions ; 27 It cooled mid-century ; 28 It warmed before 1940 when CO2 was low; 29 Mt. Kilimanjaro's ice loss is due to land use; 30 Satellites show no warming in the troposphere; 31 Oceans are cooling; 32 There's no empirical evidence; 33 Climate sensitivity is low; 34 Glaciers are growing; 35 If scientists can't predict weather, how can they predict long term climate? 36 Greenland is cooler/gaining ice; 37 Neptune is warming; 38 Jupiter is warming; 39 Less than half of published scientists endorse global warming 40 It's the ocean ; 41 It's aerosols; 42 It's Pacific Decadal Oscillation; 43 CO2 measurements are suspect; 44 Can animals and plants adapt to global warming?; 45 It's volcanoes (or lack thereof); 46 It's methane; 47 It's Solar Cycle Length; 48 Naomi Oreskes' study on consensus was flawed; 49 Water levels correlate with sunspots; 50 Solar cycles cause global warming; 51 The sun is getting hotter 52 It's the ozone layer; 53 It's satellite microwave transmissions
  • 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-wing environmental 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.

  • .The current UN focus on "fighting climate change," as illustrated in the Nov. 27 UN Development Programme's Human Development Report, is distracting governments from adapting to the threat of inevitable natural climate changes, whatever forms they may take. National and international planning for such changes is needed, with a focus on helping our most vulnerable citizens adapt to conditions that lie ahead. Attempts to prevent global climate change from occurring are ultimately futile, and constitute a tragic misallocation of resources that would be better spent on humanity's real and pressing problems.

  • Environmental Defense "Global Warming: Finally a Hot Issue on the Political Agenda Despite Loss, McCain-Lieberman Bill Shows Global Warming Issue Gaining Momentum Posted on: 10/30/2003 The winds of change are blowing through Congress, and they're getting warmer.  Global warming is finally a hot issue on the political agenda, and though the Senate this week rejected the McCain-Lieberman Climate Stewardship Act, the business-friendly bill to curb heat-trapping gases, the loss isn't a disappointment. The 43-55 vote marks a seismic political change on the critical issue of global warming.  In pre-vote debate on the floor, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) spoke strongly about the environmental threat and the need for U.S. leadership on it: "It is a problem that is getting worse because we failed to attend to it. But what bothers me is this idea that somehow America -- the most innovative, creative nation the world has ever seen -- cannot cope with this problem. This defeatism, this pessimism, this fatalism that I hear from the opponents is fundamentally un-American."

Global Climate Coalition   Union of Concerned Scientists

Founded in 1989 by 46 corporations and trade associations representing all major elements of US industry, the GCC presents itself as a "voice for business in the global warming debate." The group funded several flawed studies on the economics of the cost of mitigating climate change, which formed the basis of their 1997/1998 multi-million dollar advertising campaign against the Kyoto Protocol. The GCC began to unravel in 1997 when British Petroleum withdrew its membership. Since then many other corporations have followed BP s lead and left the coalition. This exodus reached a fevered pitch in the early months of 2000 when DaimlerChrysler, Texaco and General Motors all announced their exodus from the GCC. Since these desertions, the GCC restructured and remains a powerful and well-funded force focused on obstructing meaningful efforts to mitigate climate change.

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

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

George Marshall Institute

This conservative think tank shifted its focus from Star Wars to climate change in the late 1980s. In 1989, the Marshall Institute released a report claiming that "cyclical variations in the intensity of the sun would offset any climate change associated with elevated greenhouse gases." Though refuted by the IPCC, the report was very influential in influencing the Bush Sr. Administration s climate change policy. The Marshall Institute has since published numerous reports downplaying the severity of global climate change.

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

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

Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine

The Marshall Institute co-sponsored with the OISM a deceptive campaign -- known as the Petition Project -- to undermine and discredit the scientific authority 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 urging them to sign a petition calling on the government to reject the Kyoto Protocol. The petition was accompanied by other pieces including an article formatted to mimic the journal of the National Academy of Sciences. Subsequent research revealed that the article had not been peer-reviewed, nor published, nor even accepted for publication in that journal and the Academy released a strong statement disclaiming any connection to this effort and reaffirming the reality of climate change. The Petition resurfaced in 2001.

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

Funding: Petition was funded by private sources.

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

Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP)

Founded in 1990 by widely publicized climate skeptic S. Fred Singer, SEPP s stated purpose is to "document the relationship between scientific data and the development of federal environmental policy." SEPP has mounted a sizeable media campaign -- publishing articles, letters to the editor, and a large number of press releases -- to discredit the issues of global warming, ozone depletion, and acid rain.

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

Funding: Conservative foundations including Bradley, Smith Richardson, and Forbes. SEPP has also been directly tied to ultra right-wing mogul Reverend Sung Myung Moon s Unification Church, including receipt of a year s free office space from a Moon-funded group and the participation of SEPP s director in church-sponsored conferences and on the board of a Moon-funded magazine.

Affiliated Individuals:S. Fred Singer,Frederick Seitz

Greening Earth Society

The Greening Earth Society (GES) was founded on Earth Day 1998 by the Western Fuels Association to promote the view that increasing levels of atmospheric CO2 are good for humanity. GES and Western Fuels are essentially the same organization. Both used to be located at the same office suite in Arlington, VA. Until December 2000, Fred Palmer chaired both institutions. The GES is now chaired by Bob Norrgard, another long-term Western Fuels associate. The Western Fuels Assocation (WFA) is a cooperative of coal-dependent utilities in the western states that works in part to discredit climate change science and to prevent regulations that might damage coal-related industries.

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

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

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

Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide & Global Change

The Center claims to "disseminate factual reports and sound commentary on new developments in the world-wide scientific quest to determine the climactic 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, Sherwood Idso, is affiliated with the Greening Earth Society; the Center also shares a board member (Sylvan Wittwer) with GES. Both Idso brothers have been on the Western Fuels payroll at one time or another.

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

Funding: 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 connection to the Greening Earth Society (ergo Western Fuels Association).

Affiliated Individuals: Craig Idso, Keith Idso, Sylvan Wittwer

UPDATE:

butterfly links UCS Global Warming Program ExxonMobil Report: Smoke Mirrors & Hot AirThe Union of Concerned Scientists report, Smoke, Mirrors & Hot Air: How ExxonMobil Uses Big Tobacco's Tactics to "Manufacture Uncertainty" on Climate Change, details how ExxonMobil has adopted the tobacco industry's disinformation tactics, as well as some of the same organizations and personnel, to cloud the scientific understanding of climate change and delay action on the issue. According to the report, ExxonMobil has funneled nearly $16 million between 1998 and 2005 to a network of 43 advocacy organizations that seek to confuse the public on global warming science. See the report for a list of these organizations.
