Papers -The Top Deniers of Climate Change (MotherJones.com) "Meet the 12 loudest members of the chorus claiming that global warming is a joke and that CO2 emissions are actually good for you." 12-11 American Enterprise Institute Pays Scientists to Debunk Climate Change Report (SourceWatch.org) "In February 2007, The Guardian (UK) reported that AEI was offering scientists and economists $10,000 each, 'to undermine a major climate change report' from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). AEI asked for 'articles that emphasise the shortcomings' of the IPCC report, which 'is widely regarded as the most comprehensive review yet of climate change science.' AEI visiting scholar Kenneth Green made the $10,000 offer 'to scientists in Britain, the US and elsewhere,' in a letter describing the IPCC as 'resistant to reasonable criticism and dissent.' " [7] "The Guardian reported further that AEI 'has received more than $1.6m from ExxonMobil, and more than 20 of its staff have worked as consultants to the Bush administration. Lee Raymond, a former head of ExxonMobil, is the vice-chairman of AEI's board of trustees,' added The Guardian.

The Obama administration has dramatically raised those standards, which will increase the cost of cars and trucks by thousands of dollars. High CAFE standards also increase highway fatalities and don’t significantly reduce emissions. Instead of increasing CAFE, Congress should abolish them." 10-11 Debunking Climate Change Deniers (Union of Concerned Scientists) "The overwhelming consensus among climate scientists is that global warming is real, primarily caused by human activity, and a serious threat to our future. Yet media extremists, partisan think tanks, and special interest groups funded by fossil fuel and related industries continue to raise doubts in the minds of the public." 02-12 Debunking Climate Lies (ThinkProgress.org) Shows temperature averages by decade since 1880. 02-12 Editorial: Climate Scientists and Smear Campaigns (CNN News) " I worked on climate change research that indicated the world is a lot warmer today than it was in the past. Because that research caught the public's attention when it was released in 1998, I became one of dozens of climate researchers who have been systematically targeted by a well-funded anti-science campaign.Ironically, as these attacks have grown, the scientific facts have become ever clearer. Climate scientists know the world is warming and human activity -- particularly burning coal and oil -- is the primary driver. The idea of addressing climate change threatens some people in the fossil fuel industry. And a vocal minority of corporate interests and their ideological allies are spending a lot of money to hijack the public debate about climate change." 03-12 Heartland Projects (Heartland.org) Heartland opposes climate change science with what it calls "free-market environmentalism." 05-12 Michael Mann Responds to Climate Change Deniers (Guardian.co.uk) "in his book, Mann warns that 'public discourse has been polluted now for decades by corporate-funded disinformation – not just with climate change but with a host of health, environmental and societal threats.' The implications for the planet are grim, he adds." 05-12 Who's Paying for Climate Change Deniers? (Time.com) "Fossil-fuel companies like Exxon and Peabody Energy — which obviously have a business interest in slowing any attempt to reduce carbon emissions — have combined with traditionally conservative corporate groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and conservative foundations like the Koch brothers' Americans for Prosperity, to raise doubts about the basic validity of what is, essentially, a settled scientific truth. That message gets amplified by conservative think tanks — like the Cato Institute and the American Enterprise Institute — and then picked up by conservative media outlets on the Internet and cable TV." 10-11
