An epic quest loomed Wednesday before the largest gathering of business leaders in a decade to advocate for climate action on Capitol Hill.Could they find a single Republican in the U.S. Senate to take up the cause of carbon pricing?The answer appeared to be: "Not yet."Officials from Microsoft, Nike, Pepsi, eBay, Exelon, Gap, Levi's, Mars and Tesla were among more than 75 business leaders making the case for a national price on carbon. They scheduled 80 meetings with lawmakers and staff, half of them with Republicans. Lawmakers and their aides ducked behind closed doors to confer with members of the delegation throughout the day.Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), who introduced bipartisan carbon tax <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/3791?s=2&r=1" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold;">legislation</a> in the last Congress and would like to do so again, set up one roundtable meeting between his colleagues and six CEOs with a ground rule that he wouldn't name which members of Congress came to hear the pitch. (The bill he introduced last session put a fee on emissions of greenhouse gases and paid the revenues back to the public as a so-called "dividend.")"By offering an invitation to come have an off-the-record conversation with CEOs, I was partly recognizing that it is politically challenging or sensitive to have conservative Republicans in a room talking about a price on carbon," Coons said. "And I'm trying to find a way to move that conversation forward."One Republican who is seen by some as a hope for GOP climate leadership did stop and speak briefly with a reporter outside the door on his way out of a half-hour session with CEOs."I think we're a long way from legislation of that character at this stage," said Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) of their plea for congressional action.Although Romney maintained a skeptical stance on climate during his 2012 presidential run, his more recent statements show openness to addressing climate change—including <a href="https://twitter.com/MittRomney/status/829121887217319938" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold;">a 2017 Tweet </a>praising the carbon fee-and-dividend proposal by the Climate Leadership Council, a coalition of businesses and environmental groups. But Romney, who represents a state where <a href="https://onlinelibrary.utah.gov/symbols/rock.html" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;">coal is the state rock</a>, was not ready to commit to any view on what Congress should be doing."They made a number of important points about creating incentives for the various industries to consider a carbon-friendly approach as opposed to a less carbon-friendly approach, and creating pricing mechanisms that would encourage them to emit less carbon," Romney said.<h3 playfair="Playfair" display="Display" serif="serif" font-weight="font-weight" normal="normal" line-height="line-height" font-size="font-size" rem="rem" background-color="background-color" rgb="rgb" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px;">Climate Reports, Polls and a Republican Shift</h3>The companies lobbying for carbon pricing together represented combined annual revenues of more than $2.5 trillion, according to the sustainability nonprofit group Ceres, which helped organizing the lobbying effort. Boston-based Ceres works with investors and companies to build networks of leaders on climate issues.Dawn Martin, executive vice president of Ceres, said the business members of its policy network began pushing for the idea of a group lobbying effort on Capitol Hill after back-to-back climate science reports last fall—the <a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold;">Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 1.5 degrees report</a> and the <a href="https://www.globalchange.gov/nca4" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold;">Fourth National Climate Assessment</a>—issued stark warnings about the need to rein in greenhouse gases quickly."It's been a game-changer for people," said Martin. And while there isn't a GOP standard-bearer in Congress on carbon pricing, Martin said she has seen a shift."To have Republicans saying, 'We get it, but it's the wrong solution'—at least they get it now," she said. "And that has happened relatively overnight."That was also the finding of a national survey released earlier this week by the GOP polling firm Luntz Global. The <a href="https://www.clcouncil.org/polling/" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold;">survey </a>found that by a margin of 8 to 1, U.S. voters are more worried about climate today than they were a year ago. Luntz found majority support across party lines for the <a href="https://insideclimatenews.org/news/07032019/carbon-tax-proposals-compare-baker-shultz-exxon-conocophillips-ccl-congress" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold;">carbon fee-and-dividend proposal</a> of the Climate Leadership Council, which commissioned the survey. Among Republicans under age 40, 75 percent supported the idea of pricing carbon and returning all revenue to households.Republicans on Capitol Hill are acting as though they've seen similar polling. Fewer are now openly questioning the core science of climate change, but many are still steering clear of the idea of strong government action.The Republican-controlled Senate Agriculture Committee, stacked with farm state lawmakers who have largely ignored the topic, held a hearing Tuesday focused on climate change in which several senators and witnesses raised the prospect of carbon markets. With the farm sector battered by a series of natural disasters and suffering under President <a href="http://insideclimatenews.org/tags/donald-trump" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold;">Donald Trump</a>'s trade policies, the idea of possible farm revenue from carbon markets has appeal, and even Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue voiced support for the idea. But Republican lawmakers, who have long fought anything that remotely hints of regulation on American farms, were wary."What I would hate to see is heavy handed government regulation," said Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst. "I think we can do this on our own."<h3 playfair="Playfair" display="Display" serif="serif" font-weight="font-weight" normal="normal" line-height="line-height" font-size="font-size" rem="rem" background-color="background-color" rgb="rgb" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px;">What Business Leaders Are Saying</h3>Many Republicans are touting technology subsidies—not taxes—as the solution. At a <a href="https://insideclimatenews.org/news/16052019/carbon-tax-fee-dividend-pricing-republican-plan-house-ways-means-committee-baker-shultz" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold;">House Ways and Means Committee hearing</a> last week, several Republicans voiced support for increased incentives to spur innovation.Hugh Welsh, president of DSM North America, a nutrition and health company, said he was telling lawmakers that government incentives are fine for sparking innovation, but not for scaling them up enough to make a difference on climate change. For example, DSM has developed a feed additive that the company says would reduce methane emissions from cows by 30 percent, but he said there's not enough incentive for farms to buy the product unless there is a market imperative to reduce greenhouse gases.Jeff Eckel, CEO of the Annapolis, Md.-based clean investment firm Hannon Armstrong, is convinced he can make a business case for carbon pricing that should appeal to Republicans. To rely on subsidies and incentives alone, he said, "is a distinctly non-conservative economic position. If you want to go back to free market principles, you put a price on carbon and you stop socializing the cost" of climate change.The business leaders said they understood, however, that no matter how much progress they made in their lobbying day on Capitol Hill, they were not likely to see legislation in the short-term with the Trump administration maintaining its stance of climate denial."We know where this administration is. It's living in a fact-free fantasy," said Gary Hirshberg, chairman of the organic yogurt company Stonyfield Farm. "But this is a matter of enormous urgency. What we need to help our colleagues and representatives understand is that this is not a partisan issue."Said Welsh, "I think everybody understands that not much is going to get done in this Congress, in the polarized, divisive state we're in. But that's not a deterrent. That does not discourage us. It may be the first time we're up on the Hill, but it won't be the last time."</div><div><div>=</div><div><h2 id="post-51375" style="padding: 0px; margin: 5px 0px 7px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><a href="http://retractionwatch.com/2017/08/10/unearthed-docs-monsanto-connected-campaign-retract-gmo-paper/" rel="bookmark" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">Unearthed emails: Monsanto connected to campaign to retract GMO paper</a></h2><a href="http://retractionwatch.com/2017/08/10/unearthed-docs-monsanto-connected-campaign-retract-gmo-paper/#comments" style="padding: 0px 7px 5px 0px; margin: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">with 14 comments</a><div class="main" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">A trove of internal documents from Monsanto, recently unsealed in a lawsuit against the agricultural biotech giant, has revealed the firm’s role in the knotty tale of a paper from the lab of a scientist known for his stance against genetically modified organisms (GMOs).That paper is “<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0278691512005637" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">Long term toxicity of a Roundup herbicide and a Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize</a>,” published in September 2012 in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT) and <a href="http://retractionwatch.com/2013/11/28/controversial-seralini-gmo-rats-paper-to-be-retracted/" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">retracted in January 2014</a>. <a href="http://retractionwatch.com/?s=gilles+seralini" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">Gilles Seralini</a>, a scientist known for an adversarial stance towards GMOs, was first author. The documents have also spurred the retraction of several pro-GMO articles on Forbes.com written by Henry Miller, a fellow at the Hoover Institution, a conservative think tank at Stanford University. Emails showed that one of the articles, which didn’t discuss Seralini’s paper, was ghostwritten by Monsanto.The <a href="https://www.baumhedlundlaw.com/toxic-tort-law/monsanto-roundup-lawsuit/monsanto-secret-documents/" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">documents</a>, posted last week by the law firm of Baum, Hedlund, Aristei and Goldman, show Monsanto engaged with a network of scientists and other commentators to spread the message that the Seralini paper was bad science and should be retracted. Seralini told Retraction Watch that this proves what he has been saying all along, that Monsanto led a concentrated effort to discredit his science and protect its bottom line. He said:<blockquote style="background-image: url(" images="images" quote.gif="quote.gif" background-position="background-position" left="left" top="top" background-size="background-size" initial="initial" background-repeat="background-repeat" no-repeat="no-repeat" background-attachment="background-attachment" background-origin="background-origin" background-clip="background-clip" padding="padding" px="px" margin="margin" min-height="min-height">I deduced from the beginning that it was organized….</blockquote>But the effort to counteract Seralini’s work was not one-sided. [what?! huh logic?] Bruce Chassy, at the time a professor at the University of Illinois, now retired, told us he approached Monsanto to ask if they would act as allies “in the fight against the abuse of science,” in the form of anti-GMO research that he believed to be shoddy. He said that he has been critical of Monsanto’s business practices, but thinks they hire good scientists and are thus a good source of information on GMOs:<blockquote style="background-image: url(" images="images" quote.gif="quote.gif" background-position="background-position" left="left" top="top" background-size="background-size" initial="initial" background-repeat="background-repeat" no-repeat="no-repeat" background-attachment="background-attachment" background-origin="background-origin" background-clip="background-clip" padding="padding" px="px" margin="margin" min-height="min-height">If I can use Monsanto to get science a fair hearing, I’ll do it. Since they know more about this than anybody else, they’re the people to go to.</blockquote>Monsanto tried to ensure that the campaign to retract the 2012 paper wouldn’t be linked back to the company. On Sept. 26, 2012 — a week after the paper came out, <a href="http://baumhedlundlaw.com/pdf/monsanto-documents/7-Monsanto-Personnel-Discusses-Plan-Seeking-Retraction-of-Serlani-Glyphosate-Study.pdf" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">Eric Sachs, a Monsanto executive, wrote several colleagues</a> to emphasize:<blockquote style="background-image: url(" images="images" quote.gif="quote.gif" background-position="background-position" left="left" top="top" background-size="background-size" initial="initial" background-repeat="background-repeat" no-repeat="no-repeat" background-attachment="background-attachment" background-origin="background-origin" background-clip="background-clip" padding="padding" px="px" margin="margin" min-height="min-height">We have done our part. It is time now for the public sector and especially our network of experts to do theirs…Monsanto must not be put in the position of providing the critical analysis that leads the editors to retract the paper… There is a difference between defending science and participating in a formal process to retract a publication that challenges the safety of our products.</blockquote>To achieve this, Monsanto coordinated with the scientists mentioned in the documents on what to say in response to and how to maximize the impact of the response. Based on the documents obtained, that took the form of published articles, including letters to the editor of FCT, at least one of which called for retraction.A contentious paperSeralini should be no stranger to our regular readers — controversy has followed the 2012 paper at almost every turn, from the <a href="https://embargowatch.wordpress.com/2012/09/21/stenographers-anyone-gmo-rat-study-co-sponsor-engineered-embargo-to-prevent-scrutiny/" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">irregular methods Seralini used to promote it</a> to the media (such as asking some journalists to sign a non-disclosure agreement to see it in advance of publication) to initial publication in FCT. Even after it was retracted, it was republished in 2014 — by a journal that <a href="http://retractionwatch.com/2014/06/26/republished-seralini-gmo-rat-study-was-not-peer-reviewed-says-editor/" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">didn’t subject it to peer review</a>. The FCT version has been cited 54 times since it was retracted, and 95 in total, <a href="http://retractionwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/WOS-boilerplate3.pdf" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">according to Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science</a>, earning it Clarivate’s “highly cited paper” designation.In a <a href="http://retractionwatch.com/2013/11/28/controversial-seralini-gmo-rats-paper-to-be-retracted/" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">statement issued</a> after the retraction, Seralini accused Monsanto of promoting criticisms of the paper and installing a former employee on the FCT editorial board.While the documents highlight close ties between Monsanto and at least four people who criticized the study, plenty of scientists criticized the paper’s scientific merits in both the <a href="https://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/19/six-french-science-academies-dismiss-study-finding-gm-corn-harmed-rats/" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">mainstream</a> and <a href="https://www.nature.com/news/rat-study-sparks-gm-furore-1.11471" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">academic</a> press.

An FCT investigation found no evidence of fraud, misconduct, or gross error, which are required by Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines for retraction; however, FCT cited COPE guidelines in their <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0278691512005637" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">retraction notice</a> anyway.As our co-founder Ivan Oransky <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/study-on-genetically-modified-corn-herbicide-and-tumors-reignites-controversy/" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">told CBS News</a> in 2014, after the paper was <a href="http://retractionwatch.com/2014/06/24/retracted-seralini-gmo-rat-study-republished/" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">republished</a> in a different journal:<blockquote style="background-image: url(" images="images" quote.gif="quote.gif" background-position="background-position" left="left" top="top" background-size="background-size" initial="initial" background-repeat="background-repeat" no-repeat="no-repeat" background-attachment="background-attachment" background-origin="background-origin" background-clip="background-clip" padding="padding" px="px" margin="margin" min-height="min-height">This whole episode has taken us farther away from knowing the truth …This is a good example of what happens when people with hardened beliefs manipulate a system for the result they want …

On Sept. 25, 2012, Chassy <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170423075529/https://www.forbes.com/sites/henrymiller/2012/09/25/scientists-smell-a-rat-in-fraudulent-genetic-engineering-study/#61a4757a689a" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">co-authored an article with Henry Miller</a>, the fellow at the conservative think tank, which Miller published in his capacity as a Forbes.com contributor. The article suggested that Seralini had gone beyond “bad science” and into fraud. That article and two other posts from Miller related to GMOs have since been removed from Forbes.com, but are available through the internet archive (one, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120923144417/https://www.forbes.com/sites/henrymiller/2012/02/22/the-science-of-things-that-arent-so/" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">co-written with Chassy</a>, criticized an earlier 2012 Seralini paper; the other was <a href="http://baumhedlundlaw.com/pdf/monsanto-documents/22-Internal-Email-Demonstrating-Monsanto-Ghostwriting-Article-Criticizing-IARC-for-Press.pdf" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">ghost-written by Monsanto</a> itself in 2015).Mia Carbonell, senior VP of global communications at Forbes, told Retraction Watch that it has pulled down all of Miller’s articles on its site, because he violated the terms of his contract:<blockquote style="background-image: url(" images="images" quote.gif="quote.gif" background-position="background-position" left="left" top="top" background-size="background-size" initial="initial" background-repeat="background-repeat" no-repeat="no-repeat" background-attachment="background-attachment" background-origin="background-origin" background-clip="background-clip" padding="padding" px="px" margin="margin" min-height="min-height">All contributors to Forbes.com sign a contract requiring them to disclose any potential conflicts of interest and only publish content that is their own original writing.  When it came to our attention that Mr. Miller violated these terms, we removed all of his posts from Forbes.com and ended our relationship with him.</blockquote>Both Miller and Chassy said they weren’t involved in the decision to take down the Forbes articles and that they disagreed with the decision. Miller told us that, like Chassy, he has “sought information from [Monsanto] …on scientific issues when I thought they had information of value.” He said he does not have a financial connection to Monsanto. Chassy said that he has never personally accepted money from Monsanto, although his university did [see update].One day after the Forbes.com article ran, Chassy sent FCT Editor-in-chief A. Wallace “Wally” Hayes a <a href="http://baumhedlundlaw.com/pdf/monsanto-documents/9-Email-from-Monsanto-Collaborator-to-Food-and-Chemical-Toxicology-Journal.pdf" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">strongly-worded email</a> in which he said the journal had an “ethical obligation” to retract the paper.Chassy was also <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0278691512007922" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">one of 25 co-authors of a formal letter to the editor</a> of the FCT that called for the paper’s retraction. (The letter has not been cited.) In September 2012, as the letter was being drafted, a Monsanto staff member asked about the company’s involvement with it and expressed hesitation about whether the company should even disclose its knowledge of the letter to investors. <a href="http://baumhedlundlaw.com/pdf/monsanto-documents/14-Monsanto-Emails-Confirming-Undisclosed-Involvement-in-Successful-Retraction-of-Serlani-Study.pdf" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">Sachs wrote</a>:<blockquote style="background-image: url(" images="images" quote.gif="quote.gif" background-position="background-position" left="left" top="top" background-size="background-size" initial="initial" background-repeat="background-repeat" no-repeat="no-repeat" background-attachment="background-attachment" background-origin="background-origin" background-clip="background-clip" padding="padding" px="px" margin="margin" min-height="min-height">We are “connected” but did not write the letter or encourage anyone to sign it.</blockquote>As <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/01/business/monsantos-sway-over-research-is-seen-in-disclosed-emails.html" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">reported by the New York Times</a>, Hayes himself had a <a href="http://baumhedlundlaw.com/pdf/monsanto-documents/10-Monsanto-Consulting-Agreement-with-Food-and-Chemical-Toxicology-Editor.pdf" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">“contractual relationship” with Monsanto</a> while he was editor of FCT.

</div><div>Mandatory labeling is the movement’s clarion call, the consumer’s so-called “right to know.” The right to know…what? It’s a thinly disguised effort to demonize a new technology by placing a scare label on packages that tells the consumer nothing about the nutritional make-up of a product or whether it was sustainably grown. It boils down to an attack on science and common sense, but is disguised as “consumer rights.”The year began with the movement regrouping after electoral defeats in Colorado and Oregon, where voters rejected mandatory GMO labels. A bill in Congress – HR 1599, the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act – advanced in the U.S. House much to the alarm of the anti-GMOers. Movement leaders, specifically Stonyfield Chairman Gary Hirshberg, the benefactor of Just Label It, ratcheted up their opposition to the bill. They nicknamed it “<a href="http://www.justlabelit.org/dark-act/" target="blank" style="border: 0px none; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(22, 76, 157); text-decoration: none; background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent;">The DARK Act</a>” and lobbied lawmakers throughout the spring and summer to vote against HR 1599.The House passed HR 1599 in July by a wide margin and earned support from several Congressional Black Caucus members concerned, rightly, that the labels would lead to higher food prices. In response to this, Hirshberg posted doctored photos of Black Caucus members wearing Darth Vader masks and calling them “<a href="https://www.geneticliteracyproject.org/2015/09/17/does-the-organic-led-anti-gmo-campaign-have-race-related-undertones/" target="blank" style="border: 0px none; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(22, 76, 157); text-decoration: none; background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent;">Death Stars</a>.” (One can only imagine the backlash if a Big Food/Ag company had done the same.) Hirshberg even enlisted “celebrity mom” <a href="https://www.geneticliteracyproject.org/2015/08/03/will-hollywood-anti-gmopro-labeling-activists-lena-dunham-and-gwyneth-paltrow-consider-science/" target="blank" style="border: 0px none; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(22, 76, 157); text-decoration: none; background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent;">Gwyneth Paltrow</a> to appear at a press conference on Capitol Hill where she urged lawmakers to defeat the bill in the Senate.<div>
