The Europäische Akademie für Umweltfragen (EAU) or in English the European Academy for Environmental Affairs (sometimes written as 'European Academy of Environmental Affairs') was founded in 1986 by prof. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Helmut_Metzner" title="Helmut Metzner">Helmut Metzner</a> who was the president of this organization in Tübingen (Germany) until his death in 1999. <a href="http://www.life.uiuc.edu/govindjee/history/obit/MetznerObitNew.pdf" class="external autonumber" title="http://www.life.uiuc.edu/govindjee/history/obit/MetznerObitNew.pdf" rel="nofollow">[1]</a> They held 3 conferences; all 3 in Germany. The last two conferences were organized together with the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Science_and_Environmental_Policy_Project" title="Science and Environmental Policy Project">Science and Environmental Policy Project</a> (SEPP). The first conference was on June 23, 1993 in Mannheim called 'Globale Erwärmung - Tatsache oder Behauptung?' (Global warming - Fact or Fiction?) with speakers including <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Robert_C.Balling" title="Robert C. Balling">Robert C.

The second conference under the title 'Greenhouse Controversy and Ozone-Problem' (or in German 'Treibhaus Kontroverse und Ozon-Problem') was on November 9-10, 1995 in Leipzig with contributions by: <a href="http://www.solidaritaet.com/buecher/umwelt.htm" class="external autonumber" title="http://www.solidaritaet.com/buecher/umwelt.htm" rel="nofollow">[5]</a> <a href="http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3925725296" class="external autonumber" title="http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3925725296" rel="nofollow">[6]</a>

It has been widely cited by conservative voices in the "<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Sound_science" title="Sound science" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none;">sound science</a>" movement and is regarded in some circles as the gold standard of scientific expertise on the issue. It has been cited by Singer himself in editorial columns appearing in hundreds of conservative websites and major publications, including the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Wall_Street_Journal" title="Wall Street Journal" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none;">Wall Street Journal</a>, Miami Herald, Detroit News, Chicago Tribune, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Memphis Commercial-Appeal, Seattle Times, and Orange County Register. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Jeff_Jacoby&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Jeff Jacoby (page does not exist)" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none;">Jeff Jacoby</a>, a columnist with the Boston Globe, describes the signers of the Leipzig Declaration as "prominent scholars." The <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Heritage_Foundation" title="Heritage Foundation" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none;">Heritage Foundation</a> calls them "noted scientists," as do conservative <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Think_tanks" title="Think tanks" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none;">think tanks</a> such as <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Citizens_for_a_Sound_Economy" title="Citizens for a Sound Economy" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none;">Citizens for a Sound Economy</a>, the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Heartland_Institute" title="Heartland Institute" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none;">Heartland Institute</a>, and the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Institute_of_Public_Affairs" title="Institute of Public Affairs" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none;">Institute of Public Affairs</a> in Australia.
