IRS-9M, IRS-6G2. Filed 990s with unusual characteristics that let money easily behandled in ways that violated the rules, §3, §B, §C. IRS-7F3. acted to influence public opinion, perhaps on legislation, and hencemay run afoul of lobbying limits, §E, §W. IRS-5L?4. rarely produced real science or education, but rather voluminous anti-science, often climate, sometimes for tobacco, for the public in OpEds,articles, talks, not in peer-reviewed journals, §W, §D. IRS-0E5. was commissioned to create the NIPCC anti-science reports for itschannels to legislators and public, §E. IRS-0EAny of the above may be sufficient to revoke SEPP charity status, and ifproven, some of these carry serious financial or legal penalties.89HEARTLAND, Basts and Taylor I allege that Heartland:6. has a long history of taking tobacco money for advocacy, which fewwould call research and education, §F, §G. IRS-0E7. publishes a E&CN newsletter pervaded by untruthful or misleadingclaims on science, §W, §X, §Y, §Z. IRS-0E.8. has spent lavishly on climate anti-science conferences (ICCC), payinggovernment employees to attend. §G.3 IRS-0E, IRS-5L9. sponsored Singer and Idso’s NIPCC anti-science reports, heavilypublicized through its channels to legislators and the public.Nature criticized the conferences and the NIPCC, §H, §N. IRS-0E10. supported odd money flows, §H.2, §H.3, §K. IRS-7F11. has made dubious grants to foreign entities. §H.3, §H.4. IRS-10F12. constantly advertises its pervasive ability to reach US legislators and soseems to violate 501(c)(3) lobbying rules, §G. IRS-5LAny of the above may be sufficient to revoke Heartland charity status,which of course also impacts its donors.This is “pattern and practice” seen pervasively in E&CN, elsewhere.---CSCDGC, CO2Science, Craig Idso, Robert Ferguson §K I allege that:13. CSCDGC and CO2Science have dubious governance. The Board isthe Idso family, §K.1 IRS-6G14. CSCDGC and CO2Science have some odd money transfers, §K, as doCSCDGC and Robert Ferguson, a well-paid employee. IRS-7F15. Ferguson’s SPPI is an anti-science outlet, §K.3 IRS-0E16. Craig Idso promotes anti-science, at CO2Science and E&CN. IRS-0EAny of the above may be sufficient to revoke charity status.Other think tanks, Fig. F.4 I allege that:17. Given the well-documented actions of tobacco companies, any thinktank that took tobacco money was likely not doing so for science oreducation, but for PR and/or lobbying, Fig. F.5. Hence, all in Fig. F.4should be examined carefully. Most took money for advocacy insupport of hurting children. They get $400M+/year. IRS-0E, IRS-5L18. Although not documented in detail here, many of these also advocateclimate anti-science, especially those in Fig. ES.1. [MAS2010]Either of the above may be sufficient to revoke charity status for many.DONORS TRUST AND CAPITAL, Whitney Ball §I I allege that they:19. funded entities to promote anti-science and that specific itemizationsshowed they knew what they were funding, see Fig. H.1 for Heartlandfunding and . §K.1.1 for CSCDGC. IRS-7F20. have sent funds directly to CSCDGC employee Ferguson, which mightbe dubious, especially given SPPI’s nature. . §K.3 IRS-0E , IRS-7FThis also applies to the Lambe and Bradley foundations.21. routinely funded entities that have taken money for nonfactualadvocacy, not education, whether from tobacco companies, fossilinterests or private foundations. IRS-0E, IRS-5LThis may be a good reason to revisit donor-advised funds.Some of these grants are no more in the public interest than payingpeople to help promote cigarettes to children.People might doubt my negative assessments of “science,” but they mightask for official comments from the American Geophysical Union, the USNational Academy of Sciences, the US Centers for Disease Control (on thetobacco issues), the UK Royal Society, or journals like Nature or Science.=<div>

----Crescendo to Climategate Cacophony 185 ppBehind the 2006 Wegman Report and Two Decades of Climate Anti-ScienceJohn R. MasheyClimate science has produced increasingly-stronger scientific results intentionally obscured by anincreasingly-noisy anti-science PR campaign. This has surged in a long crescendo from 1990 to thecacophony of ―Climategate,‖ the email hack of the University of East Anglia‘s Climatic Research Unit.This 185-page report details the long history of these attacks, including funding flows, organizations,people and tactics. It highlights the reality behind a 2005-2006 campaign that purposefully misledCongress. Its results have formed a pillar of the anti-science PR campaign to this day, includingClimategate. Although the author has benefited from frequent discussions with leading researchers, thereport is based primarily on public information - government reports, organizations' websites,peer-reviewed articles, scholarly books and existing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) data.This report shows in detail: A tight network of organizations and individuals funded and executed the long campaign. They usedwell-honed tactics pioneered by tobacco companies, but to obscure the dangers of second-hand smoke,acid rain, chlorofluorocarbons and greenhouse gas emissions. From 2001 to 2005, several of these, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, George C. MarshallInstitute, Senator James Inhofe and allies found ―new voices‖ in Canadians Ross McKitrick &Steven McIntyre, encouraged them and introduced them to Washington, DC. Using the old tactics,they tried to discredit specific scientists and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In 2005, Representatives Joe Barton and Ed Whitfield unusually demanded information from climatescientists Michael Mann, Raymond Bradley and Malcom Hughes, originators of a 1999 ―hockey stick‖graph later used in the IPCC 2001 reports. The scientific community pushed back. Barton andWhitfield bypassed the National Academy of Sciences, preferring an odd route to reach EdwardWegman to form an ―independent, impartial, expert‖ panel to evaluate hockey stick statistics. In July 2006 the ―Wegman Report‖ and House hearings combined into a major pillar of widespread andcontinuing attacks on Mann, the IPCC, and climate science, still employed since then. For example,Climategate testimony to the UK Parliament 03/01/10 still cited Wegman. The Panel had none of the attributes claimed. In no sense were its members independent. It farexceeded its charter. It relied heavily on information via Barton staffer Peter Spencer. It workedwith critic McIntyre, but never contacted Mann. Key material even seems plagiarized from Bradley‘sclassic Paleoclimatology text, sometimes modified to weaken or even invert its meaning. Unlike the time of the tobacco wars, the media and Internet now amplify anti-science attacks by:(a) enabling a few determined people to divert chosen scientists‘ research time entirely into respondingto FOIA requests and personal attacks and (b) inciting harassment of scientists via public outcry, hatemail or threats of violence.This report suggests: Congress should investigate the manufacture and exploitation of the Wegman Report. Such aninvestigation might well grow into the scope of the 1990s tobacco investigations. It has been suggestedthat 18.U.S.C §1001 and 18.U.S.C §371 might apply to organized efforts to mislead Congress. As partof that, Congress might investigate the nature of some organizations claiming nonprofit 501(c)3 status. Congress should consider changing FOIA law to preserve appropriate public access, but betterdifferentiate between reasonable requests and unreasonable Internet-amplified harassment. Congress should consider better ways to deal with organized, Internet-amplified defamation campaignsnot handled well by current laws. Climate scientists should not face death threats.... The Editor, his Canadian geologist brother Tim had recused himself, but had paperreviewed by Soon and Boehmer-Christiansen, contemporaneously with De Freitas reviewing abadly-flawed paper by Soon and Baliunas [SOO2003] for the journal Climate Research. De Freitas wasthen an editor of that journal, whose publication of that paper eventually led to resignation of Editor-in-Chief Hans von Storch and about half other editors. All this was the impetus for somecomplaints found in Climategate emails. (read DC‘s account). At various times, Balling, Davis, DeFreitas and Legates have been editors for Climate Research, but none currently.As for the original [DEF2002], it was described by Tim de Freitas, p27:www.cspg.org/volunteer/files/reports/2002-CSPG-Report-of-Activities.pdf (emboldening mine).=2011 21 pp<a href="https://www.desmog.com/wp-content/uploads/files/Pal-review-by-John-Mashey.pdf" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">https://www.desmog.com/wp-content/uploads/files/Pal-review-by-John-Mashey.pdf</a>no lnxChris de Freitas, Pat Michaels and their palsJohn R. Mashey,JohnMasheyAT yahoo DOT com, 11/29/11Table of Contents1 Introduction 12 Active editors, tenure by received dates 33 People X Articles & Activities, Chronological 44 People X Organizations 55 Social Network of the pals, a few hints 66 Conclusion 7A.1 – Papers from Climate Research 8A.2 –Chris de Freitas, Papers and Other Activities 15A.3 –Pat Michaels - Publications 181 IntroductionGood peer review is crucial, but not sufficient for credible scientificpublishing. It is merely an early hurdle. Even in carefully-run journals,mistakes occur, to be found later by the broader reviews followingpublication of anything interesting. In most fields, real junk is ignored. Inclimate, such junk gets widely endlessly publicized, forcing debunking.For a few years, Climate Research, a generally-credible journal, publishedsome weak or even awful articles. The journal had no Editor-in-Chief, soauthors sent manuscripts to an Associate Editor of their choice. Eachselected reviewers, handled the whole process and accepted papers with nofurther oversight. From 1990 to 1996, CR published zero papers fromany of the following, called pals hereafter: Sallie Baliunas, RobertBalling, John Christy, Robert Davis, (Chris de Freitas), David Douglass,Vincent Gray, Sherwood Idso, PJ Knappenberger, Ross McKitrick, PatMichaels, Eric Posmentier, Arthur Robinson, Willie Soon, and GerdRainer Weber.2 Chris de Freitas became an editor and then accepted 14papers from the pals 1997-2003....[much more]11/30/11Von Storch seemed the obvious choice to become Editor-in-Chief, givenhis handling of 110 papers. The identities of the reviewers used by deFreitas are (properly) unknown, but one might wonder: Did dubious papers often get reviewed by pals (or their friends)? Were there negative reviews by others and how much did they count?The table on next page shows the authors, their papers and other activities,chronologically. The varied year-widths here align this table with the next.The pals arrived with de Freitas, sent him most of their papers andessentially departed after the von Storch resignation.The papers are listed in Appendix A.1 and then briefly analyzed....People X Articles & Activities, ChronologicalThe following lists pal authors, plus Fred Singer and the George MarshallInstitute (GMI) as key connectors. Most are extracted from MAS2010pp.97-102. Activities are listed in the Index and described there in moredetail. Higher numbers show stronger involvement. Pals’ CR articles areshown in red, with relevant climate anti-science activities in black, roughlychronologically, although some activities continued over years, so thatparticipation does not imply a specific year. Singer was a close ally of theGMI founders, of whom two were on his SEPP board (Naomi Oreskes &Erik Conway, Merchants of Doubt, 2010.)Editorial tenures, by visible received dates, are shown in gray.Most are noted in www.desmogblog.com/global-warming-denier-database...4 sallie is hub?!balling. michaels4 People X OrganizationsThis lists the 15 pals plus Fred Singer, a connection for many, and MadhavKhandekar. Most are extracted from MAS2010 pp.96-102. A few werenot involved enough in the MAS2010 story to be listed there, but werefound in a more inclusive 600-person table. Higher numbers implystronger involvement, described p.96. Organizations are described in moredetail and listed in the MAS2010 Index, p.4. Some people have publishedreal science (a necessity to build any credibility and access to the researchcommunity), but all have shown persistent involvement with organizationsthat do climate anti-science, most of which also have tobacco connections.Almost everyone has been involved with CATO, (GMI) or Heartland,usually more than one. Baliunas  18 , Balling  11, Michaels  10 , Soon  9 and Singer  13 eachare listed 9+ times. Knappenberger seems the least involved, but wasMichaels‘ student and has worked for him for decades.Khandekar arrived at the end of the de Freitas era, so was not included inthe pals group, although he surely knew them well. He did not stay long.Most pals have been involved in many organizations that do climateanti-science. The same people appear again and again....6 ConclusionWhen de Freitas became editor, CR was ―open for business and it arrivedquickly from the pals, a group of people who have accumulated a longhistory of climate anti-science activities, papers and involvement withorganizations that promote anti-science, not just for climate, but often forother areas.17Some papers seemed fine, if not necessarily very important, but some verydubious papers were accepted. Michaels‘ 7 papers accounted for half ofhis entire peer-reviewed production during the period.When de Freitas left, the flow of papers from pals effectively dried up.One need know nothing about climate science to see the patterns here.It is a fine example of lax processes allowing a ―rogue editor‖ to subvertthe normal peer review process.

For starters, who thinks that long-time fossil fuel–funded <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/patrick-michaels" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">Patrick Michaels</a>, a senior fellow with the climate science–denying <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/competitive-enterprise-institute" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">Competitive Enterprise Institute</a>, will “fix science”?  UPDATE 02/10/20: <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/sites/beta.desmogblog.com/files/brochure.pdf" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">NAS Brochure at Symposium.</a>I was first tipped off to the swarm of climate science deniers at this meeting by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/leonid-teytelman-11521a4/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">Lenny Teytelman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/lteytelman/status/1215503010417147904" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">on Twitter</a>, who said he found seven climate deniers (an undercount), and by Oxford professor <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_V.M.Bishop" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">Dorothy Bishop </a>in her January 12 blog post, <a href="https://deevybee.blogspot.com/2020/01/should-i-stay-or-should-i-go-when.html" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">“Should I stay or should I go?…”</a> about this meeting and whether scientists should engage with those with dissenting views in a situation like this. Both provided useful insight and information, which I've consolidated with other research here. Professor Bishop summarized well:<blockquote style="margin: 1.5em 30px;">“But, I reiterate, the main point is not whether NatAsSchlols is left- or right-wing. It's the weird structuring of the meeting, which juxtaposes a set of experts in the 'reproducibility crisis' with a set of individuals who promote scientific views that are far from mainstream … You know your arguments would not survive scrutiny by experts familiar with evidence in the area, so you don't invite those (and to be fair, it's unlikely that they'd come anyway, as there are diminishing returns in engaging with those whose minds are fixed). But what you can do is to cast doubt on all scientific evidence by inviting along those who are questioning the solidity and credibility of current scientific practices. That's what is happening here.” [emphasis added]</blockquote>Many speakers at this meeting have been affiliated with groups known for anti-science efforts, either ideologically or financially, funded mostly by dark money. When their funding sources are accessible, they include the usual companies (fossil fuels, tobacco, and chemical) and private conservative foundations, which lines up with 2013 research by sociologist Robert Brulle, summarized in my post “<a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/2013/12/23/detailed-study-exposes-dark-money-flows-climate-science-denial" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">Study Details Dark Money Flowing to Climate Science Denial</a>.”A few other speakers have often worked in “product defense,” an area covered well by David Michaels in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Triumph-Doubt-Money-Science-Deception/dp/0190922664" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">Triumph of Doubt</a> (2020) (<a href="https://twitter.com/JohnMashey/status/1219139520399994881" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">review</a>). I'm compiling here a list of the speakers and organizations who are more often denying science than trying to fix it. People should be very wary of those listed in red, and I've included links to more information for those who want to do their own research.The Fixing Science symposium sponsors are the National Association of Scholars (NAS, which should not be confused with the reputable U.S. National Academy of Sciences, which also goes by NAS) and <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/independent-institute" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">The Independent Institute</a> (TII). The former is led by Peter Wood and the latter by David Theroux, both vocal (but non-technical) climate science deniers.<h3 style="line-height: 1.28205em; margin-top: 1.28205em; margin-bottom: 1.28205em;">Anti-science Groups</h3>I've scoured IRS Form 990 data (line 8) for the four organizations affiliated with the most symposium speakers, a search that yielded total grants received each year from 2003-2017, shown in Table A. But such 501(c)(3) “public charities” need not report the sources of those grants. Using the <a href="https://candid.org/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">candid.org</a> website, I've compiled the information in the spreadsheet, “<a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/sites/beta.desmogblog.com/files/grants2thinktanks_0.xls" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">Grants To Think Tanks, </a>whose two sheets each contain a Table 1 that lists all 1,528 grants, and a Table 2 that summarizes them.The first sheet sorts by Recipient-Donor-Year, the second by Donor-Recipient-Year. Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) like <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/who-donors-trust" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">Donors Trust</a> and <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/donors-capital-fund" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">Donors Capital Fund </a>do report grants they make, but their legal structure makes it impossible to know the original sources of the funding. Perhaps that was not dark enough for some donors. The huge Fidelity Charitable DAF started making grants to the same four organizations in 2015. It is impossible to know who got the idea first, but by 2016, Charles Koch was routing millions of dollars through that DAF.In Table A, the Miss % is the fraction of total grant money given directly by corporations or others, so not reported on 990PF forms, and therefore, invisible to the public. Adding DAF% and Miss % yields Dark %, which shows the extent of dark money. <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/heartland-institute" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">The Heartland Institute</a>'s DAF% is high, as it receives roughly a third of its money (32%) via Donors Trust/Capital Fund. In the tables below, CD indicates promotion of Climate Denial and TD shows persistent Tobacco Defense, with lower case implying a lesser degree. Appearing in red shows clear, well-documented anti-science behavior, generally to create doubt about science that conflicts with business interests.DeSmog readers are likely familiar with many of the better known groups, or can click on the profiles, so this section will focus on lesser known groups...much more charts, see bak</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"></div><a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/2019/06/25/ucsf-adds-fossil-fuels-to-industry-documents-library">https://www.desmogblog.com/2019/06/25/ucsf-adds-fossil-fuels-to-industry-documents-library</a>Today, <a href="https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/fossilfuel/blog/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">UCSF Library launched a new Fossil Fuel Industry Documents Archive</a> featuring over 1,000 internal documents from the fossil fuel industry illustrating strategies to cast doubt on climate science and delay policy action. The documents were collected over two decades by the <a href="https://climateinvestigations.org/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Climate Investigations Center</a>.<a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">UC San Francisco</a>'s <a href="https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Industry Documents Library</a> (IDL) is a unique resource.  It gathers and organizes internal documents from companies that privatize profits and socialize costs, risks or damage to health or environment.Real science is often inconvenient for profits, so such companies spend money on politics, disinformation, doubt-creation and attacks on science and scientists, sometimes via “independent” think tanks or front groups often covered here on DeSmog.UCSF has gotten tobacco documents for decades, but over the last few years has added Drug, Chemical and Food sections to the archive as well. Internal documents from lawsuits, whistleblowers and other sources can be quite valuable for exposing malfeasance, helping community action, backing legislation and supporting lawsuits. It is incredibly helpful to have one database of well-curated documents from multiple industries, as they use similar tactics often employed by some of the same people and organizations, as illustrated by personal experience below.I got interested in the fossil-tobacco connection on hearing a 2007 talk by <a href="https://histsci.fas.harvard.edu/people/naomi-oreskes" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Naomi Oreskes,</a> and later reviewing drafts of <a href="https://www.merchantsofdoubt.org/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Merchants of Doubt</a>(2010) by her and <a href="https://www.erikmconway.com/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Erik Conway</a>. When I wrote <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/sites/beta.desmogblog.com/files/crescendo%20climategate%20cacophony%20v1%200.pdf" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Crescendo to Climategate Cacophony</a>(2010), the focus was the fossil disinformation industry, but I found 12 relevant references to UCSF Library tobacco documents on general tactics and specifics like <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/heartland-institute" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Heartland Institute</a>, <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/s-fred-singer" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Fred Singer</a>, <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/steve-milloy" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Steve Milloy</a> and <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/advancement-sound-science-coalition" style="text-decoration-line: none;">TASSC</a>,  Many climate denial organizations also took money from Big Tobacco, although I usually did not know how much.<a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/sites/beta.desmogblog.com/files/fake2.pdf" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Fake science, fakexperts, funny finances, free of tax 2 (2012)</a> explored the actions and finances of the Heartland Institute in much more detail. In trying to find its money sources, I saw that its Board included Philip Morris executive Roy Marden, so I searched the Library for him. I was ecstatic to find he was the one who doled out money to think tanks and that he created yearly spreadsheets 1991-2001, saving me an enormous amount of searching (pp.38-41). Many other internal documents also illustrated Heartland's behavior. That report has 79 Library references.After studying the <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/edward-wegman" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Wegman</a> Report and having academic misconduct reports stonewalled by <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/george-mason-university" style="text-decoration-line: none;">George Mason University</a>, I found not only a strong Koch influence, but likewise many tobacco connections, in <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/see-no-evil-speak-little-truth-break-rules-blame-others" style="text-decoration-line: none;">See No Evil, Speak Little Truth, Break Rules, Blame Others (2012)</a>. Although not the main focus, 16 Library references were used.Also in 2012, I was lucky to attend a  small, intense, 2-day <a href="http://www.climateaccountability.org/pdf/Climate%20Accountability%20Rpt%20Oct12.pdf" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">workshop</a> that combined climate supporters and tobacco control people, We wanted to compare notes and for us (climate) to learn from tobacco control folks, who had longer experience, especially with legal battles. Again and again, they said “get the documents (and get them public)”, as that was really how lawsuit losses against Big Tobacco finally started to become wins. We are starting to see more lawsuits against fossil companies and I truly hope documents found in discovery will not be destroyed, but finally rest in a safe, easy-to-use permanent archive, such as the Library.At that workshop, I first heard the UCSF research that showed the Tea Party had really been a joint effort of the <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/charles-koch" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Kochs</a> and Big Tobacco, discussed in T<a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/2013/02/11/tea-party-tobacco-everywhere-always" style="text-decoration-line: none;">EA Party: Tobacco Everywhere Always (2013)</a>. As with some of the earlier reports, the Library's tobacco documents accidentally exposed actions of other people.Some think tanks have long taken money from fossil and tobacco companies, often defending smoking. When major tobacco companies decided they had to get into e-cigarettes, views changed: <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/2014/01/28/familiar-think-tanks-fight-e-cigarettes" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Familiar Think Tanks Fight For E-cigarettes (2014)</a>.Fossil industries sometimes hire tobacco operatives, as in <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/2014/01/10/koch-industries-hires-tobacco-operative-steve-lombardo-communications-marketing" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Koch Industries Hires Tobacco Operative Steve Lombardo to Lead Communications and Marketing (2014)</a>. I've gotten in the habit of searching the Library for any new climate denialist name. Another was <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/richard-berman" style="text-decoration-line: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Richard Berman</a>, in <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/2014/10/31/richard-berman-tobacco-to-fossil-fuels" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Richard Berman, Tobacco To Fossil Fuels (2014)</a>.The <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce" style="text-decoration-line: none;">US Chamber of Commerce</a>  has long fought efforts to regulate greenhouse gases, but also <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/2015/07/02/thomas-donohue-sells-us-chamber-commerce-big-tobacco" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Thomas Donohue Sells USChamber Of Commerce To Big Tobacco (2015)</a>.Another climate denier had a tobacco connection: <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/2016/01/04/ivar-giaever-nobel-icon-for-climate-deniers" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Ivar Giaever: Nobel Icon For Climate Deniers, and Philip Morris (2016).</a>Those are just a few examples of the value to journalism of well-curated documents and I hope for a flow of fossil documents over the next few years. Since 2013, I've been a member of the advisory committee for UCSF's <a href="https://tobacco.ucsf.edu/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Center for Tobacco Control Research and Educatio</a>n, tightly coupled to the Library, so I not only use the Library for my own research, but as the only computer technologist on the committee, follow the work and know the people.  These folks do great work with a small staff.It takes money to process the documents, and this work depends on grants that don't necessarily fit usual health-related funding flows. So, Desmog readers, if you appreciate the Library, please consider a <a href="https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/about/donate/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">tax-deductible donation</a>,as I have done, atop the time I spend at UCSF.The Library is already a unique resource for exposing and helping counter corporate malfeasance against science, health and the environment, but I have great hopes its value will keep on growing.Finally, as an exercise for the reader, search the <a href="https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/tobacco/results/#q=exxon&h=%7B%22hideDuplicates%22%3Atrue%2C%22hideFolders%22%3Atrue%7D&subsite=tobacco&cache=true&count=18891" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Library's tobacco section for Exxon</a>.

Joe Barton (R-TX) as part of <a href="http://content.usatoday.com/communities/sciencefair/post/2010/11/wegman-report-round-up/1#.VVoW2vlVhHw" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;">a Congressional investigation of climate scientists</a>.  Subsequent work by Wegman and Said, based on the Wegman Report, was later<a href="http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/weather/climate/globalwarming/2011-05-15-climate-study-plagiarism-Wegman_n.htm" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;">retracted for plagiarism</a> and the investigations themselves were criticized as “<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/21/AR2005072102186.html" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;">political intimidation</a>.”In their lawsuits, Wegman and Said claimed that because Mashey had voiced his findings of plagiarism and misconduct regarding the Wegman Report and other work, and otherwise “injured [their] reputation[s],” they were “forced to resign” from positions as editors of an academic journal, causing them to lose profits “as well as the ability to edit and publish, and the professional prestige and credibility such a position entails.”  Wegman and Said sought an astonishing $2 million in economic and punitive damages from Mashey, plus reimbursement for their legal fees.  (In a particularly strange twist given the plagiarism concerns, their attorney Milton Johns is currently chair of <a href="http://pwcs.schoolfusion.us/modules/cms/pages.phtml?pageid=147142" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;">his local school board</a>.)The Climate Science Legal Defense Fund has stepped in to pay Mashey’s legal defense costs, which have already totaled more than $15,000.  Sadly, legal bills in the tens of thousands of dollars – or more – are not uncommon for those subjected to harassing legal attacks, not to mention the substantial time drains and mental anguish such litigation can cause defendants (especially in cases that drag on for years, as is often the case).  Mashey’s litigation also illustrates that the entire climate science community is at risk for becoming collateral damage in the “<a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v464/n7286/full/464141a.html" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;">street fight</a>” on climate science.There is a silver lining here:  several weeks after Mashey’s attorneys filed dual motions to dismiss, and days before a court-scheduled hearing on the matter, both Wegman and Said withdrew their complaints against Mashey.  The withdrawals were filed without explanation and “without prejudice,” meaning the plaintiffs may re-file at any time, a very real danger – but it also means that Mashey is no longer being subjected to the hassles and expenses of active litigation.  We hope that the plaintiffs have realized their case was frivolous, as well as rife with serious procedural issues.<a title="" href="file:///H:/articles,%20blog%20posts%20etc/2015%2005%2020%20Mashey%20post/Mashey%20post%20v3.docx#ftn1" style="margin: 0px;

</div><div><div>Science is built through credible peer-reviewed journals, but</div><div>anti-science or “advocacy science” uses OpEds, blogs,</div><div>newsletters and personal attacks on scientists. It is fake</div><div>“advocacy science” designed to confuse non-scientists, often for</div><div>financial and/or ideological reasons.

</div><div> “Fake science” reports have long been used by tobacco companies and</div><div>others who privatize profits and socialize large losses or risks</div><div>

</div><div>“Fakexperts” such as Michael Crichton are relentlessly quoted and</div><div>promoted as though scientifically credible.</div><div>

Fred Singer is President of the Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP), but has done almost all the work himself for 20 years. A trek through his and other 990s unearthed many curiosities. Singer claimed Frederick Seitz as Chairman for two years after his demise and 20 years after a Philip Morris staffer had written in 1989: “Dr. Seitz is quite elderly and not sufficiently rational to offer advice.” SEPP’s finances were curious. SEPP paid no salaries, even for Singer’s 60-hour workweeks. Money flowed oddly.
