APCO formally established TASSC in October 1, 1993 The budget for the first full year of operation was $365,411. <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/xzb65e00/pdf" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: linear-gradient(transparent, transparent) right center no-repeat, url(" w="w" skins="skins" vector="Vector" resources="resources" skins.vector.styles="skins.vector.styles" images="images" external-link-ltr-icon.svg="external-link-ltr-icon.svg" b4b84="b4b84" padding-right="padding-right" px="px">[3]</a>According to his website, by 1994, Milloy was project leader of the Regulatory Impact Analysis Project, Inc. for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.Department_of_Energy" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Department of Energy" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">U.S. Department of Energy</a>.

By Paul D. Thacker

In his final column of the year, FoxNews.com science columnist Steven Milloy listed “the top 10 junk science claims of 2005.” For number nine, Milloy attacked the research of Michael Mann, a Penn State scientist who, in 1999, published research showing a dramatic rise in global temperatures during the twentieth century, after hundreds of years with little climate change.

Calling Mann’s science “dubious,” Milloy praised Representative Joe Barton of Texas, whose calls for an investigation into Mann’s methodology last June were cut short when the scientific community and members of Congress protested it as a witch hunt. Representative Sherwood Boehlert, the chairman of the House Committee on Science, wrote to Barton, “The only conceivable explanation for the investigation is to attempt to intimidate a prominent scientist and to have Congress put its thumbs on the scales of a scientific debate.”

Another conceivable explanation for the investigation is that Barton, as chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, is swimming in donations from oil companies. But that probably didn’t bother Milloy, because he receives his own sponsorship from ExxonMobil. As revealed in Mother Jones last spring, between 2000 and 2003, ExxonMobil donated $90,000 to two nonprofits Milloy operates out of his house in Potomac, Maryland. Milloy’s defense of Barton—and excoriation of Mann—is typical of his corporate-subsidized science reporting, in which he has attacked not only global warming, but also secondhand smoke studies and clean air regulations.

Over the past year, there have been several instances of political columnists shilling for the Bush administration. In January 2005, Tribune Media Services booted Armstrong Williams after discovering he had taken a government contract to write columns favorable to Bush’s No Child Left Behind Act. And, in December, Copley News Service dropped Doug Bandow after discovering that he was taking money from Jack Abramoff to write columns favorable to the Republican lobbyist’s clients.

But the trend in paid-for-punditry seems to have spread to the world of science journalism as well. Earlier this month, BusinessWeek Online reported that, in 1999, Scripps Howard columnist Michael Fumento received $60,000 from Monsanto, one of the biotech companies he later covered in his columns, to help pay his salary at the Hudson Institute and to cover some of the overhead of his book BioEvolution. Fumento had not disclosed the Monsanto money to Scripps Howard.

But, whereas Scripps Howard fired Fumento and apologized to its readers, Fox News continues to look the other way as Milloy accepts corporate handouts. And it’s not just the ExxonMobil money. Milloy has a long history of taking payment from industries that have a stake in the science stories he writes. The ethical standards are clear. “Not disclosing this is wrong,” says Tom Rosenstiel, the director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism. The real question, then, is why Fox News continues to employ Milloy. Or, in the words of James Hansen, a climate scientist and the head of nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, “The question is, ‘Why does a major news organization employ such a hack?’”

Milloy has been affiliated with FoxNews.com since July 2000. On March 9, 2001, he wrote a column for the website headlined “secondhand smokescreen.” The piece attacked a study by researcher Stephen Hecht, who found that women living with smokers had higher levels of chemicals associated with risk of lung cancer. “If spin were science, Hecht would win a Nobel Prize,” Milloy wrote. For good measure, he heaped scorn on a 1993 Environmental Protection Agency report that also linked health risks and secondhand smoke.

Later that spring, he authored another smoking-related piece for FoxNews.com. In that one, he cast aside two decades of research on the dangers of exposure to secondhand smoke and concluded, “Secondhand smoke is annoying to many nonsmokers. That is the essence of the controversy and where the debate should lie—the rights of smokers to smoke in public places versus the rights of nonsmokers to be free of tobacco smoke.” You might chalk it up to Milloy’s contrarian nature. Or to his libertarian tendencies.

Except, all the while, he was on the payroll of big tobacco. According to Lisa Gonzalez, manager of external communications for Altria, the parent company of Philip Morris, Milloy was under contract there through the end of last year. “In 2000 and 2001, some of the work he did was to monitor studies, and then we would distribute this information within to our different companies,” Gonzalez said. Although she couldn’t comment on fees paid to Milloy, a January 2001 Philip Morris budget report lists Milloy as a consultant and shows that he was budgeted for $92,500 in fees and expenses in both 2000 and 2001. Asked about Milloy’s tobacco ties, Paul Schur, director of media relations for Fox News, said, “Fox News was unaware of Milloy’s connection with Philip Morris. Any affiliation he had should have been disclosed.” Milloy could not be reached for comment.

Yet it’s all in the public record. The University of California at San Francisco maintains a database of seven million tobacco industry documents made public as part of the 1998 settlement between tobacco companies and state attorneys general. According to those documents, Milloy’s relationship to big tobacco goes back at least to March 1997, when he took over as executive director of The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition (tassc), a front group established in 1993 by Philip Morris and p.r. firm apco Associates “to expand and assist Philip Morris in its efforts with issues in targeted states.” (Fumento was on the organization’s advisory board.)

Under Milloy, tassc sought to debunk a range of scientific theories that ran counter to the conservative viewpoint, from the dangers of breast implants to the need for stricter clean air standards. Philip Morris remained heavily invested in these efforts. A 1997 Philip Morris budget report includes a line item granting tassc $200,000. As executive director, Milloy also reached out to other allies within the industry. For instance, in September 1997, he sent a letter to Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation soliciting $50,000: “The grant will be used to further tassc’s efforts to educate the public, media and policymakers on priorities in public health,” he wrote.

The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition is now defunct. But one of Milloy’s nonprofits has the same acronym and a remarkably similar name: The Advancement of Sound Science Center. His Free Enterprise Action Institute also has tobacco links, with Thomas Borelli—a longtime Philip Morris executive—serving as its secretary.

It has become increasingly hard to defend tobacco or attack smoking studies, which is probably why Milloy’s more recent targets have included climate scientists like Mann. “Tobacco has lost most of these battles, but there is still opportunity to spread doubt about global warming,” says David Michaels, the chair of the Project on Scientific Knowledge and Public Policy at George Washington University. Corporations with a stake in the global warming debate have been distributing their funds accordingly: Of the $3,056,783 raised in 2003 by the libertarian think tank Competitive Enterprise Institute (where Milloy is an unpaid adjunct analyst), $465,000 came from ExxonMobil. Milloy and Borelli’s latest enterprise is a mutual fund that seeks to counter pressure from environmental activists promoting corporate social responsibility.

Fox News can’t be expected to dig through the tobacco legacy documents every time one of its columnists writes about smoking issues. But, as far as Milloy, Fox News should be judged the same way tobacco companies were during their trials: What did they know, and when did they know it?

Fox News has certainly known since last spring that money from ExxonMobil was going to Milloy’s home-based charities. Perhaps the real reason the news organization tolerates Milloy is that his pro-industry, anti-environmentalist views dovetail nicely with those of its political commentators. Still, this misses an important distinction. Objective viewers long ago realized that Fox News has a political agenda. But, when a pundit promotes this agenda while on the take from corporations that benefit from it, then Fox News has gone one disturbing step further.

</div><div>...In June, 2002, two months after Hayes’s first atrazine publication, Syngenta announced in a press release that three studies had failed to replicate Hayes’s work. In a letter to the editor of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, eight scientists on the EcoRisk panel wrote that Hayes’s study had “little regard for assessment of causality,” lacked statistical details, misused the term “dose,” made vague and naïve references, and misspelled a word. They said that Hayes’s claim that his paper had “significant implications for environmental and public health” had not been “scientifically demonstrated.” Steven Milloy, a freelance science columnist who runs a nonprofit organization to which Syngenta has given tens of thousands of dollars, wrote an article for Fox News titled “Freaky-Frog Fraud,” which picked apart Hayes’s paper in Nature, saying that there wasn’t a clear relationship between the concentration of atrazine and the effect on the frog. Milloy characterized Hayes as a “junk scientist” and dismissed his “lame” conclusions as “just another of Hayes’ tricks.”<div data-attr-viewport-monitor="inline-recirc" class="inline-recirc-wrapper inline-recirc-observer-target-3 viewport-monitor-anchor" data-event-boundary="click" data-event-click="{" pattern="pattern" inlinerecirc="InlineRecirc" data-in-view="{" data-include-experiments="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TNYAdobeCaslonPro, " times="Times" new="New" roman="Roman" serif="serif" font-size="font-size" px="px" background-color="background-color" rgb="rgb">Fussy critiques of scientific experiments have become integral to what is known as the “sound science” campaign, an effort by interest groups and industries to slow the pace of regulation. David Michaels, the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health, wrote, in his book “Doubt Is Their Product” (2008), that corporations have developed sophisticated strategies for “manufacturing and magnifying uncertainty.” In the eighties and nineties, the tobacco industry fended off regulations by drawing attention to questions about the science of secondhand smoke. Many companies have adopted this tactic. “Industry has learned that debating the science is much easier and more effective than debating the policy,” Michaels wrote. “In field after field, year after year, conclusions that might support regulation are always disputed. Animal data are deemed not relevant, human data not representative, and exposure data not reliable.</div><div></div><div><h1 style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px 63px 5px 0px; font-weight: lighter; line-height: 1.2em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Interference in the Science of Atrazine (Again): Syngenta Tears a Page from the Tobacco Industry Playbook</h1><div class="username" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><a href="https://blog.ucsusa.org/author/gretchen-goldman" title="Posts by Gretchen Goldman" rel="author" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">GRETCHEN GOLDMAN</a>, RESEARCH DIRECTOR, CENTER FOR SCIENCE AND DEMOCRACY | JUNE 18, 2013, 1:41 PM EDT</div><div class="php-widget-top" data-user="gretchen-goldman" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div id="custom_html-4" class="widget_text widget widget_custom_html" style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;"><div class="textwidget custom-html-widget" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div class="the_author_nickname" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div class="article-content" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 866px; clear: both;">In last year’s report <a href="http://www.ucsusa.org/scientific_integrity/abuses_of_science/how-corporations-corrupt-science.html" target="blank" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">Heads They Win, Tails We Lose</a>, we laid out the strategies used by corporations to interfere in the development of science-based policy. We pulled from diverse examples—from ozone standards to medical devices to protection of workers from silica dust—in order to showcase the many ways corporations have interfered with the science. But it is only a rare case where a single issue encompasses these many strategies—and now Syngenta Crop Protection has done just that.In response to a Freedom of Information Act request, recently unsealed court documents have been released that include thousands of Syngenta emails, internal memos, and other documents. The documents detail the strategies the company used to stave off potential EPA regulation of its widely used weed-killer, <a href="http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxfaqs/tf.asp?id=854&tid=59" target="blank" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">atrazine</a>.

But the newly released documents show that Syngenta has used the same time-tested tactics many industries have used when new scientific evidence surfaces that suggests a possible need for regulation. And Syngenta does it with textbook precision. To refresh your memory, let’s walk through these strategies and how Syngenta applied them, page-by-page.<h3 style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.2em;">
Ah, this is a familiar strategy, we’ve seen again and again. Most recently, you may be familiar with the death threats and hate mail received by <a href="https://blog.ucsusa.org/speaking-up-for-scientists-who-receive-death-threats-2" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">climate scientists</a> but this strategy is much older. Back in the 1960s, <a href="http://www.rachelcarson.org/" target="blank" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">Rachel Carson</a> was <a href="http://www.ucsusa.org/corporateclimate" target="blank" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">attacked by industry</a> and labeled a “hysterical woman” by industry actors for sounding alarm on the harmful effects of DDT.Strategy #1: Attack the Scientist</h3>Atrazine also has an outspoken critic with scientific credentials. Dr. Tyrone Hayes, a biologist at the University of California, Berkeley demonstrated atrazine’s effect of feminizing male frogs over a decade ago, published the results in <a href="https://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v419/n6910/abs/419895a.html" target="blank" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">Nature</a> and <a href="http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/abstract/99/8/5476" target="blank" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences</a>, and has since remained critical of the pesticide’s use. The documents show that Syngenta targeted the scientist directly. The company commissioned a psychological profile of Dr. Hayes, investigated his family, and planted trained critics in the audience at his speaking events.  “They impacted my professional and personal life,” <a href="http://www.environmentalhealthnews.org/ehs/news/2013/atrazine-page2" target="blank" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">Dr. Hayes says</a> in response. “It’s sobering to get substantiation of the verbal attacks they made.”<h3 style="margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.2em;">Strategy #2: Pay “Independent” “Experts” to Tout Your Cause</h3>If you can’t discredit the scientist, the next best thing is to create your own expert to counter him or her. The tobacco industry paid seemingly independent scientists to cast doubt over the connection between cancer and cigarettes. Climate science has seen the same, with fossil fuel companies paying individuals to be <a href="http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science_and_impacts/global_warming_contrarians/" target="blank" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">climate contrarians</a> in the public realm or through scientific studies. Syngenta, too, paid scientists to downplay the environment and health impacts of the pesticide and paid economists to claim atrazine’s economic necessity.And it’s not just the same strategy in the cases of tobacco, climate, and atrazine, in at least one instance we are talking about the very same person. In all three examples, <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Steven_J.Milloy" target="blank" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">Steven J. Milloy</a>, a Fox News columnist and blogger, was one of the “independent experts” hired to combat the scientific evidence. In the past, he has also been critical of the science around stratospheric ozone depletion, secondhand smoke, and DDT.<h3 style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.2em;">
This is a strategy that has taken many different forms, but one that is routinely employed, nonetheless. How a particular issue is regulated will dictate how you can fight it in the policy realm. The Clean Air Act, for example, dictates that regulation of ground-level ozone must be based on the science—in particular, the science of how ozone levels affect human health. So if an industry or politician wants to avoid ozone standards tightening, they need to focus on <a href="https://blog.ucsusa.org/white-house-messes-with-air-pollution-science-again" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">attacking the science</a> behind the regulation. In contrast, pesticide regulation is based on both the science and economic impacts. This is why Syngenta paid economists to produce certain results.Strategy #3: Try to Interfere with Policy Making</h3>In addition to economic considerations, atrazine regulation is also influenced by a federal advisory panel convened to assess the effects of the pesticide. The released documents also show that Syngenta hired a detective agency to investigate on the EPA scientific advisory panel reviewing atrazine, though it wasn’t clear what Syngenta did with this information.<h3 style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.2em;">Keeping the Science Independent</h3>The most shocking thing you might first observe about this case is the incredible lengths that Syngenta went to in order to discredit the science with a multi-million dollar campaign. When large economic interests are at play, the stakes are higher and the tactics get tougher. What is equally concerning to me is the sad truth that this is not an isolated case. In a <a href="https://blog.ucsusa.org/corporate-counterfeit-sciene-both-wrong-and-dangerous-152" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">post last week</a>, the director of UCS’ Center for Science and Democracy Andrew Rosenberg discussed the troubling trends in ghost-writing of scientific articles by conflicted experts paid by industry actors.But might there be a better way? In each of these cases—tobacco, DDT, ozone, climate change—the science has eventually surfaced and actions have been taken to protect the public from harm (albeit, a <a href="https://blog.ucsusa.org/critical-decade-for-climate-action-new-report-echoes-many-others-we-must-decarbonize-to-stabilize-climate-158" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">work-in-progress for climate</a>). I expect that the case of atrazine <a href="http://www.epa.gov/opp00001/reregistration/atrazine/atrazine_update.htm" target="blank" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">will follow suit</a>.Rather than fighting the overwhelming evidence of science that inevitably wins out in these cases, we could be focusing on alternatives, innovations, and solutions. My hope is that one day this can be Strategy #1 in the playbook.Posted in: <a href="https://blog.ucsusa.org/category/food-and-agriculture" rel="category tag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">Food and Agriculture</a>, <a href="https://blog.ucsusa.org/category/science-and-democracy" rel="category tag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">Science and Democracy</a> Tags: <a href="https://blog.ucsusa.org/tag/attacks-on-scientists" rel="tag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">attacks on scientists</a>, <a href="https://blog.ucsusa.org/tag/corporate-influence" rel="tag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">corporate influence</a>, <a href="https://blog.ucsusa.org/tag/pesticides" rel="tag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">pesticides</a>, <a href="https://blog.ucsusa.org/tag/scientific-integrity" rel="tag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px;">Scientific Integrity</a></div></div><div></div><div>320 </div><div>

</div><div><div>The denial industry</div><div>
</div><div>For years, a network of fake citizens' groups and bogus scientific bodies has been claiming that science of global warming is inconclusive. They set back action on climate change by a decade. But who funded them? Exxon's involvement is well known, but not the strange role of Big Tobacco. In the first of three extracts from his new book, George Monbiot tells a bizarre and shocking new story</div><div>George Monbiot</div><div>
</div><div> @GeorgeMonbiot</div><div>Tue 19 Sep 2006 10.45 EDTFirst published on Tue 19 Sep 2006 10.45 EDT</div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div>ExxonMobil is the world's most profitable corporation. Its sales now amount to more than $1bn a day. It makes most of this money from oil, and has more to lose than any other company from efforts to tackle climate change. To safeguard its profits, ExxonMobil needs to sow doubt about whether serious action needs to be taken on climate change. But there are difficulties: it must confront a scientific consensus as strong as that which maintains that smoking causes lung cancer or that HIV causes Aids. So what's its strategy?</div><div>
</div><div>The website Exxonsecrets.org, using data found in the company's official documents, lists 124 organisations that have taken money from the company or work closely with those that have. These organisations take a consistent line on climate change: that the science is contradictory, the scientists are split, environmentalists are charlatans, liars or lunatics, and if governments took action to prevent global warming, they would be endangering the global economy for no good reason. The findings these organisations dislike are labelled "junk science". The findings they welcome are labelled "sound science".</div><div>
</div><div>Among the organisations that have been funded by Exxon are such well-known websites and lobby groups as TechCentralStation, the Cato Institute and the Heritage Foundation. Some of those on the list have names that make them look like grassroots citizens' organisations or academic bodies: the Centre for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change, for example. One or two of them, such as the Congress of Racial Equality, are citizens' organisations or academic bodies, but the line they take on climate change is very much like that of the other sponsored groups. While all these groups are based in America, their publications are read and cited, and their staff are interviewed and quoted, all over the world.</div><div>
</div><div>By funding a large number of organisations, Exxon helps to create the impression that doubt about climate change is widespread. For those who do not understand that scientific findings cannot be trusted if they have not appeared in peer-reviewed journals, the names of these institutes help to suggest that serious researchers are challenging the consensus.</div><div>
</div><div>This is not to claim that all the science these groups champion is bogus. On the whole, they use selection, not invention. They will find one contradictory study - such as the discovery of tropospheric cooling, which, in a garbled form, has been used by Peter Hitchens in the Mail on Sunday - and promote it relentlessly. They will continue to do so long after it has been disproved by further work. So, for example, John Christy, the author of the troposphere paper, admitted in August 2005 that his figures were incorrect, yet his initial findings are still being circulated and championed by many of these groups, as a quick internet search will show you.</div><div>
</div><div>But they do not stop there. The chairman of a group called the Science and Environmental Policy Project is Frederick Seitz. Seitz is a physicist who in the 1960s was president of the US National Academy of Sciences. In 1998, he wrote a document, known as the Oregon Petition, which has been cited by almost every journalist who claims that climate change is a myth.</div><div>
</div><div>The document reads as follows: "We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan, in December 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind. There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."</div><div>
</div><div>Anyone with a degree was entitled to sign it. It was attached to a letter written by Seitz, entitled Research Review of Global Warming Evidence. The lead author of the "review" that followed Seitz's letter is a Christian fundamentalist called Arthur B Robinson. He is not a professional climate scientist. It was co-published by Robinson's organisation - the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine - and an outfit called the George C Marshall Institute, which has received $630,000 from ExxonMobil since 1998. The other authors were Robinson's 22-year-old son and two employees of the George C Marshall Institute. The chairman of the George C Marshall Institute was Frederick Seitz.</div><div>
</div><div>The paper maintained that: "We are living in an increasingly lush environment of plants and animals as a result of the carbon dioxide increase. Our children will enjoy an Earth with far more plant and animal life than that with which we now are blessed. This is a wonderful and unexpected gift from the Industrial Revolution."</div><div>
</div><div>It was printed in the font and format of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences: the journal of the organisation of which Seitz - as he had just reminded his correspondents - was once president.</div><div>
</div><div>Soon after the petition was published, the National Academy of Sciences released this statement: "The NAS Council would like to make it clear that this petition has nothing to do with the National Academy of Sciences and that the manuscript was not published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences or in any other peer-reviewed journal. The petition does not reflect the conclusions of expert reports of the Academy."</div><div>
</div><div>But it was too late. Seitz, the Oregon Institute and the George C Marshall Institute had already circulated tens of thousands of copies, and the petition had established a major presence on the internet. Some 17,000 graduates signed it, the majority of whom had no background in climate science. It has been repeatedly cited - by global-warming sceptics such as David Bellamy, Melanie Phillips and others - as a petition by climate scientists. It is promoted by the Exxon-sponsored sites as evidence that there is no scientific consensus on climate change.</div><div>
</div><div>All this is now well known to climate scientists and environmentalists. But what I have discovered while researching this issue is that the corporate funding of lobby groups denying that manmade climate change is taking place was initiated not by Exxon, or by any other firm directly involved in the fossil fuel industry. It was started by the tobacco company Philip Morris.</div><div>
</div><div>In December 1992, the US Environmental Protection Agency published a 500-page report called Respiratory Health Effects of Passive Smoking. It found that "the widespread exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in the United States presents a serious and substantial public health impact. In adults: ETS is a human lung carcinogen, responsible for approximately 3,000 lung cancer deaths annually in US non-smokers. In children: ETS exposure is causally associated with an increased risk of lower respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia. This report estimates that 150,000 to 300,000 cases annually in infants and young children up to 18 months of age are attributable to ETS."</div><div>
</div><div>Had it not been for the settlement of a major class action against the tobacco companies in the US, we would never have been able to see what happened next. But in 1998 they were forced to publish their internal documents and post them on the internet.</div><div>
</div><div>Within two months of its publication, Philip Morris, the world's biggest tobacco firm, had devised a strategy for dealing with the passive-smoking report. In February 1993 Ellen Merlo, its senior vice-president of corporate affairs, sent a letter to William I Campbell, Philip Morris's chief executive officer and president, explaining her intentions: "Our overriding objective is to discredit the EPA report ... Concurrently, it is our objective to prevent states and cities, as well as businesses, from passive-smoking bans."</div><div>
</div><div>To this end, she had hired a public relations company called APCO. She had attached the advice it had given her. APCO warned that: "No matter how strong the arguments, industry spokespeople are, in and of themselves, not always credible or appropriate messengers."</div><div>
</div><div>So the fight against a ban on passive smoking had to be associated with other people and other issues. Philip Morris, APCO said, needed to create the impression of a "grassroots" movement - one that had been formed spontaneously by concerned citizens to fight "overregulation". It should portray the danger of tobacco smoke as just one "unfounded fear" among others, such as concerns about pesticides and cellphones. APCO proposed to set up "a national coalition intended to educate the media, public officials and the public about the dangers of 'junk science'. Coalition will address credibility of government's scientific studies, risk-assessment techniques and misuse of tax dollars ... Upon formation of Coalition, key leaders will begin media outreach, eg editorial board tours, opinion articles, and brief elected officials in selected states."</div><div>
</div><div>APCO would found the coalition, write its mission statements, and "prepare and place opinion articles in key markets". For this it required $150,000 for its own fees and $75,000 for the coalition's costs.</div><div>
</div><div>By May 1993, as another memo from APCO to Philip Morris shows, the fake citizens' group had a name: the Advancement of Sound Science Coalition. It was important, further letters stated, "to ensure that TASSC has a diverse group of contributors"; to "link the tobacco issue with other more 'politically correct' products"; and to associate scientific studies that cast smoking in a bad light with "broader questions about government research and regulations" - such as "global warming", "nuclear waste disposal" and "biotechnology". APCO would engage in the "intensive recruitment of high-profile representatives from business and industry, scientists, public officials, and other individuals interested in promoting the use of sound science".</div><div>
</div><div>By September 1993, APCO had produced a "Plan for the Public Launching of TASSC". The media launch would not take place in "Washington, DC or the top media markets of the country. Rather, we suggest creating a series of aggressive, decentralised launches in several targeted local and regional markets across the country. This approach ... avoids cynical reporters from major media: less reviewing/challenging of TASSC messages."</div><div>
</div><div>The media coverage, the public relations company hoped, would enable TASSC to "establish an image of a national grassroots coalition". In case the media asked hostile questions, APCO circulated a sheet of answers, drafted by Philip Morris. The first question was:</div><div>
</div><div>"Isn't it true that Philip Morris created TASSC to act as a front group for it?</div><div>
</div><div>"A: No, not at all. As a large corporation, PM belongs to many national, regional, and state business, public policy, and legislative organisations. PM has contributed to TASSC, as we have with various groups and corporations across the country."</div><div>
</div><div>There are clear similarities between the language used and the approaches adopted by Philip Morris and by the organisations funded by Exxon. The two lobbies use the same terms, which appear to have been invented by Philip Morris's consultants. "Junk science" meant peer-reviewed studies showing that smoking was linked to cancer and other diseases. "Sound science" meant studies sponsored by the tobacco industry suggesting that the link was inconclusive. Both lobbies recognised that their best chance of avoiding regulation was to challenge the scientific consensus. As a memo from the tobacco company Brown and Williamson noted, "Doubt is our product since it is the best means of competing with the 'body of fact' that exists in the mind of the general public. It is also the means of establishing a controversy." Both industries also sought to distance themselves from their own campaigns, creating the impression that they were spontaneous movements of professionals or ordinary citizens: the "grassroots".</div><div>
</div><div>But the connection goes further than that. TASSC, the "coalition" created by Philip Morris, was the first and most important of the corporate-funded organisations denying that climate change is taking place. It has done more damage to the campaign to halt it than any other body.</div><div>
</div><div>TASSC did as its founders at APCO suggested, and sought funding from other sources. Between 2000 and 2002 it received $30,000 from Exxon. The website it has financed - JunkScience.com - has been the main entrepot for almost every kind of climate-change denial that has found its way into the mainstream press. It equates environmentalists with Nazis, communists and terrorists. It flings at us the accusations that could justifably be levelled against itself: the website claims, for example, that it is campaigning against "faulty scientific data and analysis used to advance special and, often, hidden agendas". I have lost count of the number of correspondents who, while questioning manmade global warming, have pointed me there.</div><div>
</div><div>The man who runs it is called Steve Milloy. In 1992, he started working for APCO - Philip Morris's consultants. While there, he set up the JunkScience site. In March 1997, the documents show, he was appointed TASSC's executive director. By 1998, as he explained in a memo to TASSC board members, his JunkScience website was was being funded by TASSC. Both he and the "coalition" continued to receive money from Philip Morris. An internal document dated February 1998 reveals that TASSC took $200,000 from the tobacco company in 1997. Philip Morris's 2001 budget document records a payment to Steven Milloy of $90,000. Altria, Philip Morris's parent company, admits that Milloy was under contract to the tobacco firm until at least the end of 2005.</div><div>
</div><div>He has done well. You can find his name attached to letters and articles seeking to discredit passive-smoking studies all over the internet and in the academic databases. He has even managed to reach the British Medical Journal: I found a letter from him there which claimed that the studies it had reported "do not bear out the hypothesis that maternal smoking/ passive smoking increases cancer risk among infants". TASSC paid him $126,000 in 2004 for 15 hours' work a week. Two other organisations are registered at his address: the Free Enterprise Education Institute and the Free Enterprise Action Institute. They have received $10,000 and $50,000 respectively from Exxon. The secretary of the Free Enterprise Action Institute is Thomas Borelli. Borelli was the Philip Morris executive who oversaw the payments to TASSC.</div><div>
</div><div>Milloy also writes a weekly Junk Science column for the Fox News website. Without declaring his interests, he has used this column to pour scorn on studies documenting the medical effects of second-hand tobacco smoke and showing that climate change is taking place. Even after Fox News was told about the money he had been receiving from Philip Morris and Exxon, it continued to employ him, without informing its readers about his interests.</div><div>
</div><div>TASSC's headed notepaper names an advisory board of eight people. Three of them are listed by Exxonsecrets.org as working for organisations taking money from Exxon. One of them is Frederick Seitz, the man who wrote the Oregon Petition, and who chairs the Science and Environmental Policy Project. In 1979, Seitz became a permanent consultant to the tobacco company RJ Reynolds. He worked for the firm until at least 1987, for an annual fee of $65,000. He was in charge of deciding which medical research projects the company should fund, and handed out millions of dollars a year to American universities. The purpose of this funding, a memo from the chairman of RJ Reynolds shows, was to "refute the criticisms against cigarettes". An undated note in the Philip Morris archive shows that it was planning a "Seitz symposium" with the help of TASSC, in which Frederick Seitz would speak to "40-60 regulators".</div><div>
</div><div>The president of Seitz's Science and Environmental Policy Project is a maverick environmental scientist called S Fred Singer. He has spent the past few years refuting evidence for manmade climate change. It was he, for example, who published the misleading claim that most of the world's glaciers are advancing, which landed David Bellamy in so much trouble when he repeated it last year. He also had connections with the tobacco industry. In March 1993, APCO sent a memo to Ellen Merlo, the vice-president of Philip Morris, who had just commissioned it to fight the Environmental Protection Agency: "As you know, we have been working with Dr Fred Singer and Dr Dwight Lee, who have authored articles on junk science and indoor air quality (IAQ) respectively ..."</div><div>
</div><div>Singer's article, entitled Junk Science at the EPA, claimed that "the latest 'crisis' - environmental tobacco smoke - has been widely criticised as the most shocking distortion of scientific evidence yet". He alleged that the Environmental Protection Agency had had to "rig the numbers" in its report on passive smoking. This was the report that Philip Morris and APCO had set out to discredit a month before Singer wrote his article.</div><div>
</div><div>I have no evidence that Fred Singer or his organisation have taken money from Philip Morris. But many of the other bodies that have been sponsored by Exxon and have sought to repudiate climate change were also funded by the tobacco company. Among them are some of the world's best-known "thinktanks": the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation, the Hudson Institute, the Frontiers of Freedom Institute, the Reason Foundation and the Independent Institute, as well as George Mason University's Law and Economics Centre. I can't help wondering whether there is any aspect of conservative thought in the United States that has not been formed and funded by the corporations.</div><div>
</div><div>Until I came across this material, I believed that the accusations, the insults and the taunts such people had slung at us environmentalists were personal: that they really did hate us, and had found someone who would pay to help them express those feelings. Now I realise that they have simply transferred their skills.</div><div>
</div><div>While they have been most effective in the United States, the impacts of the climate-change deniers sponsored by Exxon and Philip Morris have been felt all over the world. I have seen their arguments endlessly repeated in Australia, Canada, India, Russia and the UK. By dominating the media debate on climate change during seven or eight critical years in which urgent international talks should have been taking place, by constantly seeding doubt about the science just as it should have been most persuasive, they have justified the money their sponsors have spent on them many times over. It is fair to say that the professional denial industry has delayed effective global action on climate change by years, just as it helped to delay action against the tobacco companies.</div><div>

see MILLOY 2 post 5/16 both capt 519food additive link to adhd=An energy advocacy organization and a large trucking association filed a lawsuit challenging the validity of an <a href="https://www.trucks.com/tag/environmental-protection-agency/">Environmental Protection Agency</a> panel that is writing regulations to control particulate matter pollution.The lawsuit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Washington D.C., claims that most of the members of the independent scientific review committee are not independent. The suit said that 22 of the 26 members received a combined $192 million in EPA grant money and are dependent on the agency for research funds.It was filed by the Energy and Environment Legal Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based group that has previously filed lawsuits challenging EPA regulation of particulate matter pollution and other issues. The institute describes itself as an “organization engaged in strategic litigation, policy research, and public education on important energy and environmental issues.”The institute was joined in the suit by plaintiffs including the Western States Trucking Association.“I think we have a pretty good case because the law requires that this panel be independent and unbiased, and it’s clear to us that it is not,” Steve Milloy, co-counsel for the plaintiffs, told Trucks.com. “The EPA has poured ungodly amounts of money over the years to these researchers, so how could they go against the EPA’s stance on PM2.5?”That is the designation for particulate matter — including dust, dirt and soot — that is 2.5 micrometers in diameter and smaller and considered by the EPA to have the most harmful health effects.Milloy said the institute believes that science does not support EPA’s position that exposure to PM2.5 is harmful to people and the environment.“We are asking the court to prevent the EPA from convening the panel until the panel can be formed in a balanced manner in compliance with applicable laws,” said David Schnare, the institute’s general counsel and a former EPA official.John Walke, clean air director for the Natural Resources Defense Council, said the EELI lawsuit is “baseless” and “lacked merit.”“One of their attorneys filing this lawsuit is a notorious denier of the very well-established link between PM2.5 air pollution and mortality,” Walke told Trucks.com.Walke said that Milloy has called the U.S. Science Advisory Board, Johns Hopkins University, Harvard University, the American Heart Association and the World Health Organization part of the “junk science mob” because they all agree that particulate matter is harmful.Particulate matter is regulated because it “can cause premature death and harmful effects on the cardiovascular system” and other “significant health problems,” according to the EPA.Diesel trucks are one of the nation’s biggest sources of particulate matter pollution, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists.The EPA declined to discuss the lawsuit with Trucks.com, saying only that it “will review and respond accordingly to the lawsuit.”The plaintiffs allege that the EPA violated federal law by failing to appoint independent committee members to the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee Particulate Matter Review Council last November. The committee is scheduled to have its first meeting on May 23.“The EPA is obligated to appoint an independent committee to provide advice and recommendations to the administrator of the EPA every five years,” according to the lawsuit.The lawsuit claims that of the 84 EPA grants that “have produced thousands of published studies” on particulate matter, the institute isn’t aware of any that have challenged the agency’s stance on the harmful health effects associated with exposure to PM2.5.It’s important to have an impartial committee review the EPA’s findings because of the negative financial impact the agency’s rulings could have on small-business truckers, said Joe Rajkovacz, spokesman for the Western States Trucking Association.The association, headquartered in Upland, Calif., represents nearly 1,000 construction and freight industry-related trucking companies.Many members have spent thousands of dollars to retrofit their trucks to comply with California particulate emissions requirements, Rajkovacz said.“Federal law requires the EPA to run all of its rule-makings through an advisory committee, who is supposed to be an independent committee that weighs the science they are basing their rule-makings on,” Rajkovacz said. “What kind of science do you think we will get if most of the independent researchers’ financial well-being is dependent on grant money from the EPA?”James E. Enstrom, a retired UCLA epidemiologist, also is a plaintiff in the lawsuit. He published a critical analysis in the peer-reviewed medical journal Inhalation Toxicology that failed to support a relationship between PM2.5 and premature deaths in California.The lawsuit asks the court to issue a stay, ordering that the panel “may not convene to meet or hold session until it has been properly constituted.” It also seeks to require the EPA to establish an advisory committee that is made up of members independent of the agency, who have a “balanced point of view.”

I have a couple of comments that are critical of Hank’s analysis but we agree on the big point that big jumps in research funding are not necessarily going to be efficient or productive. Hank agrees but says more that needs to be said.Freeing Up Money For Science, Without Funding Waste
Posted on August 20, 2015 by Hank Campbell
Congress has decided to boost funding for the National Institutes of Health by $9.3 billion over five years, and that is welcome news to researchers. But there are two ways we could have prevented life sciences researchers from feeling like they were being disrespected by the current White House administration.The first is to recognize that the previous administration, and his same-party Congress, loved science a little too much and reset expectations somewhat. When NIH funding was basically doubled in a short period of time, it meant the creation of many new buildings for Johns Hopkins University and a whole raft of new R01 grants and hiring of post-docs to do research. However, science actually doesn’t get done that way. It is mostly a slow, measured process. If it was really possible to just spend more and get a result, we could throw $50 billion at cancer and solar power and the issues would be solved.Instead of boosting science output, it created an artificial bubble. The current administration wanted to focus on solar panels, not biology, and academia was producing 600 percent more PhDs than were ever going to get faculty positions, which meant a glut of post-docs, and suddenly, the average age for getting a first grant became 40-plus.So while it was wonderful that the White House and Congress in the early 2000s were so pro-science, it didn’t help science to be over-funded in such a short period of time.The second obstacle has been a lingering one: waste and duplication. Former Senator Tom Coburn, one of the few fiscals hawks in either House of Congress, used to issue an annual report of such waste in transportation, and the military, and in science. But scientists reacted no differently than any of those other special interest groups when their funding was critiqued. They cried foul and claimed they were being unfairly targeted. Yet they should have embraced it. He was telling them that they could easily have more funding if the government started spending the money already allocated in ways it was supposed to be spend — not to fund things that were not science (i.e. how people build relationships in Farmville, why political candidates make vague statements) and to prevent funding from becoming bureaucratic waste.More recently, a third issue has cropped up: Concern that even studies that are science may not be very good.I have written in the Wall Street Journal about reproducibility issues, and Adam Marcus and Ivan Oransky touch on it again today. A recent paper determined that half of examined papers could not be reproduced, and implied therefore they were flawed. But they are being too simplistic — reproducibility is actually a false metric in a lot of cases, so perhaps they mean replication, and erroneously use the terms interchangeably in their article.Yet definitions aside, the real issue is a modern Big Science culture that makes publishing things in a hurry so important in the chase for government money.Sixty percent of American basic research, and almost 100 percent of applied research, is corporate — and America produces the best science in the world, with five percent of the population generating over 30 percent of total output. By instead promoting government Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) initiatives across multiple government departments at a cost of billions of dollars, we have created a belief in universities that only academic science is “real” science and everything else is basically some flavor of evil Big Pharma.</div>---<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; direction: ltr; line-height: 21px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-stretch: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The Shelby Amendment<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; direction: ltr; line-height: 21px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-stretch: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Following these EPA battles, Sen.

Soon, the Washington Times and the New York Post published “secret science” editorials, and an oil executive attacked the “secret science” of the EPA rules. But the term failed to catch on, perhaps because most politicians couldn’t claim with a straight face that confidential medical records should be made public on industry’s behalf.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; direction: ltr; line-height: 21px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-stretch: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The Shelby amendment had little actual impact on the Harvard and ACS studies. The ACS data is not funded by federal or public dollars, and is not subject to the Data Access Act. Essentially all of the non-confidential records and data from the Harvard Six Cities research has been made public, a process that was underway before the passage of the amendment.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; direction: ltr; line-height: 21px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-stretch: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Whatever the intent, the Shelby amendment marked an important shift in the balance of power between industry and the public, as corporate researchers could get access to federally funded work without any expectation of a quid pro quo.OMG ATI hu experiment lawsuitThe relief sought in the instant matter will significantly ameliorate his suffering and will help return honor to the memory of David Steiner and all those who died at the hands of the “Doctors from hell.” Id at ¶ 8.B.

The medical testing staff at the EPA Human Testing Facility refused to disclose this information to him. Instead, the complaint says the staff "assured Cipparone that the air mixture was similar to that found in major metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles or New York."Another participant, Landon Huffman previously told WNCN a similar story."(The staff) convinced me that what I was doing was harmless. That I was breathing air from outside," said Huffman.According to the Cipparone complaint, he is not a smoker nor has he had a history of asthma. But since the experiments he "has continued to experience a severe and persistent cough and symptoms consistent with asthma. On at least five occasions since EPA exposed him to diesel exhaust ozone and other harmful substances, Cipparone has experienced coughing spells so severe that he has vomited."The EPA responded to the complaint in a written statement to WNCN, saying "We have received the claim and are evaluating it."Earlier this month, the experiments caught the attention of Republican state senators who are sponsoring Senate Bill 187. If the bill becomes law as written, beginning July 1 the experiments would be banned and become a felony.The EPA previously told WNCN it does not comment on pending legislation.The EPA Office of the Inspector General is in the midst of a several month long investigation requested by Congress.In late January, the North Carolina Medical Board closed its investigation into the doctors at the center of the controversial experiments.-met murdoch when latter was slumming at cato, given access to fox--endorse: <h3 style="transition: background-color 0.1s linear 0s, border-color 0.1s linear 0s, color 0.1s linear 0s, opacity 0.1s linear 0s; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 5px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Contact Information</h3><p class="facultyAddress" style="transition: background-color 0.1s linear 0s, border-color 0.1s linear 0s, color 0.1s linear 0s, opacity 0.1s linear 0s; margin: 0px 0px 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Pier IV Building, Suite 210; 621 East Pratt St Baltimore , Maryland   21202  US         <span class="phone" style="transition: background-color 0.1s linear 0s, border-color 0.1s linear 0s, color 0.1s linear 0s, opacity 0.1s linear 0s; overflow-wrap: break-word; display: inline-block; padding: 0px 0px 8px 28px; background: url(" http="http" www.jhsph.edu="www.jhsph.edu" sebin="sebin" p="p" e="e" icon_callout_links.png="icon_callout_links.png" px="px" no-repeat="no-repeat">443-573-3323 <span class="email" style="transition: background-color 0.1s linear 0s, border-color 0.1s linear 0s, color 0.1s linear 0s, opacity 0.1s linear 0s; overflow-wrap: break-word; display: inline-block; padding: 0px 0px 8px 28px; background: url(" http="http" www.jhsph.edu="www.jhsph.edu" sebin="sebin" p="p" e="e" icon_callout_links.png="icon_callout_links.png" px="px" no-repeat="no-repeat"><a href="mailto:dhenders@jhsph.edu" style="transition: background-color 0.1s linear 0s, border-color 0.1s linear 0s, color 0.1s linear 0s, opacity 0.1s linear 0s; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);">dhenders@jhsph.edu</a><p class="facultyAddress" style="transition: background-color 0.1s linear 0s, border-color 0.1s linear 0s, color 0.1s linear 0s, opacity 0.1s linear 0s; margin: 0px 0px 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">---<p class="facultyAddress" style="transition: background-color 0.1s linear 0s, border-color 0.1s linear 0s, color 0.1s linear 0s, opacity 0.1s linear 0s; margin: 0px 0px 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

"As explained in the WANTED posters, these CEOs have teamed up with America-hating green groups to lobby for legislation that would make energy dramatically more expensive and eviscerate the American dream and standard of living, while not accomplishing any positive for the environment," Milloy added.The CEOs featured in the campaign are executives with companies belonging to the U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP,http://www.us-cap.org), a gang of large corporations and Park Avenue environmental groups that have joined forces to lobby for the Waxman-Markey cap-and-tax bill.JunkScience's first six carbon criminal "WANTED" posters feature:<ul style="line-height: 19.04px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><li>Exelon CEO John Roe, the "carbon bandit," who stands to make billions of dollars at taxpayer expense from Waxman-Markey's free carbon allowances;</li><li>General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt, the "carbon schemer," who would rather profit from lobbying for Waxman-Markey than innovating products that consumers actually want;</li><li>Duke Energy CEO Jim Rogers, the "carbon betrayer," who is lobbying for higher energy prices and against his own customers and shareholders;</li><li>Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris, the "carbon extortionist," who threatens to send American jobs overseas unless Congress pays him off with free carbon allowances;</li><li>Caterpillar CEO James Owens, who can only be considered as "carbon clueless" since he is lobbying against the coal industry, one of his biggest customers; and</li><li>John Deer & Co. Chairman Robert Lane, the "carbon crapshooter," who seems to be betting that he can wreck the economy and profit simultaneously.</li></ul>The campaign kicked off with the poster of Exelon's Rowe featured on the Drudge Report (Chicago only). "More 'WANTED' posters for USCAP CEOs will follow, but America needed to know about these guys now," says Milloy."The Senate is about to take up the Waxman-Markey bill in hopes of enacting it before December when President Obama goes to Copenhagen to submit the U.S. to a United Nations-run international cap-and-tax agreement," Milloy notes."But for these CEOs, America would not be looking down the barrel of the Waxman-Markey gun," Milloy observed. "If you see one of them," Milloy warns, "approach with caution and shake your head in disgust."The WANTED posters may be viewed at http://www.junksciencearchive.com/Wanted<a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Steve_Milloy">http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Steve_Milloy</a><div id="mw-content-text" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" lang="en" style="direction: ltr; line-height: 19.2px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Steve "The Junkman" Milloy is a commentator for <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Fox_News" title="Fox News" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Faux News</a> and the founder of junkscience.com, which fails desperately at thought out explanations on <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Science" title="Science" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">science</a>.

This revolves around a myth that we need DDT, and nothing else will suffice.DDT is not extraordinary. There are other, safer bug repellents, as well as mosquito nets.

There is no scientific way — i.e., no experiment or other means of reliable study — for explaining how humans developed. Without a valid scientific method for proving a hypothesis, no indisputable explanation can exist.The process of evolution can be scientifically demonstrated in some lower life forms, but this is a far cry from explaining how humans developed.That said, some sort of evolutionary process seems most likely in my opinion.

Front man, <a href="http://www.junkscience.com/">Junkscience.com</a> web site
Adjunct Scholar, Cato Institute
Commentator, Fox News.comCompiled December 2001Role in backlash movement: Industry flack.Overview :"Junkman" Steven Milloy has made a career of lobbying for polluting industries, heading corporate front groups to deny environmental concerns, and ridiculing individual environmentalists on behalf of corporate interests. In the world according to Milloy, any scientific study that does not support the world view where all chemicals are safe is "junk science", all environmentalists are alarmist, and pollution and second hand smoke are harmless. The labels fly fast and furious, regardless of where the scientific mainstream falls on an issue and regardless of what point we are at in the scientific discovery process.Interestingly, Milloy denies he was ever a lobbyist. In 1998, while executive director of the Advancement of Sound Science Coalition, he replied to an inquiry into whether he was a lobbyist: "I do not lobby for ANYONE. Before I became executive director of TASSC, I did some technical consulting for a D.C. firm which had the policy of registering all its employees and consultants as lobbyists (whether or not they lobbied) pursuant to a new law passed in 1995. I am aware of the listing and have asked it to be corrected since I no longer work for that firm. I challenge anyone to produce any evidence that I have ever lobbied any government official for anything."However, Milloy shows up in federal lobbyist registration data for 1997 as having lobbying expenditures on his behalf, indicating his firm, the EOP Group,believed him to be an active lobbyist, "technical" or otherwise. The same federal records indicate Milloy represented the American Petroleum Institute, FMC Corp, Fort Howard, International Food Additives Council, and Monsanto. Interestingly, according to these records, Milloy lobbied for Monsanto on the subject of "food safety and labeling", which is lobbyist speak for "biotech foods". (<a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/">Center for Responsive Politics</a>, Lobbyist Database) According to the Washington Representatives, Milloy was still registered as a lobbyist with the EOP Group in 1999, with the American Petroleum Institute and FMC Corp listed as clients. (1999 Washington Representatives).According to Milloy's official biography, Milloy holds a B.A. in Natural Sciences from The Johns Hopkins University, a Master of Health Sciences in Biostatistics from The Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health, a Juris Doctorate from the University of Baltimore, and a Master of Laws from the Georgetown University Law Center.(legit)About Junkscience.com and Citizens for the Integrity of Science (CFIS)Since 1996, Junkscience.com has listed links to current articles on many environmental and public health issues, with running commentary courtesy of the "junkman".Milloy defines Junk science as "bad science used by lawsuit-happy trial lawyers, the 'food police,' environmental Chicken Littles, power-drunk regulators, and unethical-to-dishonest scientists to fuel specious lawsuits, wacky social and political agends, and the quest for personal fame and fortune." (<a href="http://www.junkscience.com/faqs.html">http://www.junkscience.com/faqs.html</a>)Though Milloy refuses to disclose organizational details such as who pays his bills, there are a few things we know about Milloy's outfit: Though there is no contact information other than an email on the web site, Junkscience.com is registered to Milloy Inc, at the same address as the EOP Group, the lobbying firm in Washington, DC. where Milloy was registered as a lobbyist . However, the phone number for junkscience.com is registered to "Advancement of Sound Science Coalition" (a well exposed corporate front group and a former project of the EOP Group) at 1155 Connecticut Ave NW, Suite 300 in Washington, DC. This is the same phone number and address Milloy has used for the Citizens for the Integrity of Science, Junkscience.com, NoMoresScares.com, and of course, the defunct Advancement of Sound Science Coalition. The fax number used on numerous press releases over the years is "an interoffice fax" at 1155 Connecticut Ave NW,. according to a simple internet search.Milloy's Citizens for the Integrity of Science, (CFIS) the supposed organization that sponsors Milloy's junkscience.com page, does not exist in IRS records as a non-profit (as of fall 2001), though by using a "dot.org" web address, non-profit status is suggested. Why wouldn't Milloy register his "dot.org" as a non-profit? Non-profits are subject to certain pesky rules of public disclosure- information that could be damaging to junkscience.com and the Citizens for the Integrity of Sceince's credibility. Thus, we are missing the elusive pieces of evidence we need: a solid money trail, names of board members, articles of incorporation- all things Milloy never wants us to find.The internet site, <a href="http://www.cfis.org/">CFIS.org (Citizens for the Integrity of Science)</a>, is registered to Steve Milloy's home address in posh Potomac, MD, with Steve Milloy listed as the administrative contact. So who is actually paying for junkscience.com? We don't know, and Milloy has repeatedly refused to disclose his patrons. Steve Milloy answers question of who pays for Junkscience.com (annoyingly in the third person), "Steve Milloy [is paying for junkscience.com]. But who pays isn't important; the substance is. Steve figures he has the junk science debate won when an opponent raises a collateral issue like funding." Collatoral issue, Steve? We see it is pretty central, especially if former (?) client Monsanto is paying for all that pro-biotech spin, for example. And can you blame us if we wonder why Milloy is pretending to run a non-profit that exists as nothing more than the same phone number set up for an known tobacco industry front group in 1993?CFIS does appear to have some sort of board, though we know of only two members, including Milloy. In a May 11,1999 Freedom of Information Act filed by Citizens for the Integrity of Science posted on the Junkscience web page, Steve Milloy listed himself and Michael Gough of the Competitive Enterprise Institute as "Directors" of Citizens for the Integrity of Science, with TASSC's old 1155 Connecticut address and contact info, which is also Milloy's current business address.Previous Positions/Projects<ul><li>While a registered lobbyist with the EOP Group, Milloy's clients included Monsanto, the American Petroleum Institute, Crosthwait Terney (a conservative legal firm) the FMC Corporation, and the International Food Additives Council.b(1996 Washington Representatives, Washington Representatives, 1999 and Center for Responsive Politics lobbyist database 1997 data.) Milloy claims he was "a technical consultant" for the lobbying firm.</li><li>
</li><li>Milloy was a leader in the already defunct NoMoreScares.com, a web site launched in August 2000 primarily to defend biotech food and malign Fenton Communications, one of the only PR firms in Washington DC willing to work with non-profit public interest groups and their relatively small PR budgets. Other coalition members included Elizabeth Whelan of the American Council on Science and Health, Alex Avery and Michael Fumento of the Hudson Institute, National Center for Public Policy Research, Bonner Cohen of the Lexington Institute, and Michael Gough of the Cato Institute. No More Scares disappeared almost as hastily as it was brought into existence, perhaps made redundant by the <a href="http://www.consumerfreedom.com/">Guest Choice Network</a>, which is now called "The Center for Consumer Freedom". Who can keep track of who is doing what? (Which is exactly the goal of ever-changing corporate front groups)</li><li>Milloy was Director of Science Policy Studies at the National Environmental Policy Institute.</li><li>
</li><li>According to the P.R. Watch report "How Big Tobacco Helped Create the Junkman," Milloy got his full fledged launch as an industry apologist in the early 1990s working for the tobacco industry. In 1992 Milloy worked for James Tozzi at Multinational Business Services. Tozzi, a former career bureaucrat at the U.S. Office of Management and Budget who had spearheaded the Reagan-era OMB campaign to gut environmental regulations, is described in internal Philip Morris documents as the company's "primary contact on the EPA/ETS risk assessment during the second half of 1992." During that period, the memo noted, "Tozzi has been invaluable in executing our Washington efforts including generating technical briefing papers, numerous letters to agencies and media interviews," a service for which Philip Morris paid an estimated $300,000 in consulting fees. 

Check out the <a href="http://www.prwatch.org/prwissues/2000Q3/junkman.html">full PR Watch report</a>, complete with links to original tobacco documents.</li><li>
</li><li>According to PR Watch, after leaving Tozzi's service, Milloy became president of his own organization called the "Regulatory Impact Analysis Project, Inc.," where he wrote a couple of reports arguing that "most environmental risks are so small or indistinguishable that their existence cannot be proven." Shortly thereafter, he launched the "Junk Science Home Page." Calling himself "the Junkman," he offered daily attacks on environmentalists, public health and food safety regulators, anti-nuclear and animal rights activists, and a wide range of other targets that he accused of using unsound science to advance various political agendas.</li><li>
</li><li>Between March 1997 and the fall of 1998, Milloy was the well-paid head of the corporate front group,The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition (Milloy was paid $100,000 for the 1998 fiscal year according to TASSC's IRS 990 form). For a time, the Junkscience.com web site and TASSC were one and the same. 

The now-defunct Advancement of Sound Science Coalition (TASSC), founded primarily by Philip Morris in 1993, was part of a corporate plan to pump millions of dollars into a campaign to cast doubt on a variety of environmental and public health issues, including global warming and second hand smoke.(The New York Times, April 25, 1998) TASSC, originally set up as a front group by APCO and Associates (PR firm related to EOP Group, Milloy's previous employer), and faded into oblivion after September 1998, possibly due to the damage caused by the negative exposure in the 1998 New York Times article. TASSC was funded by Philip Morris, Exxon, Procter and Gamble, Dow, 3M and other large corporations, primarily as a pro-tobacco and anti-tort voices. TASSC left the scene in 1998, yet Milloy has used TASSC's phone number and address for all his subsequent ventures.

Though later a project of the EOP Group, TASSC was originally based in the Washington, D.C. offices of the lobbying firm APCO Associates and claimed a membership of over 400 corporations representing chemical, agricultural, manufacturing, oil, dairy, timber, paper and mining interests, including Amoco, Chevron, and Occidental Petroleum, as well as industry trade associations. TASSC also had a science advisory panel of over 200 members, including some of the most prominent science skeptics in America. TASSC is mentioned by name in the now infamous "tobacco papers" as a group organized to help with the "scientific" message that second hand smoke is harmless. The purpose of TASSC, as described in a memo from APCO's Tom Hockaday and Neal Cohen, was to "link the tobacco issue with other more 'politically correct' products"--in other words, to make the case that efforts to regulate tobacco were based on the same "junk science".</li><li>
</li><li>Environmental Policy Analysis Network- Created and run by Steven Milloy, the Environmental Policy Analysis Network is an earlier incarnation of a one-man front group. EPAN served as the pre-TASSC vehicle for Milloy's editorial campaign for "sound science" and as the home for Milloy's "Junk Science Home Page" This is particularly interesting in light of the fact that "junkscience.com" lists the EOP Group's address as the contact on its web registration.</li></ul>Highlights, Achievements<ul><li>Milloy put out his latest book in September 2001 published by the Cato Institute Press, "Junk Science Judo: Self Defense Against Health Scares and Scams". Both of Milloy's previous books on similar topics were published by the Cato Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based free market think tank.</li><li>
</li><li>In October 1999 Milloy rejoiced in the death of Dr. David Rall, founder of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, renowned public health leader, and by reputation a very kind person. Milloy wrote, "As far as David Rall is concerned, he was a bad guy when he was alive. ...Death did not improve track record." Milloy began his commentary on Rall's untimely death with "Scratch one junk scientist who promoted the bankrupt idea that rats with a chemical predicts cancer in humans exposed to much lower levels of the chemical -- a notion that, at the very least, has wasted billions and billions of public and private dollars." (Washington Post, October 12, 1999 and <a href="http://www.grist.org/">Grist Magazine</a>, October 18, 1999)</li><li>
</li><li>Milloy was equally callous following the fall 1999 death of Senator John Chafee, a Rhode Island Republican. Milloy viewed his death as a good thing for polluters because, "Unfortunately, Sen. Chafee too often acted like a Democrat on environmental and regulatory issues. The good news is his replacement as committee chairman will be Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) who has shown courage in opposing the Kyoto protocol and the EPA air quality proposals." (As Grist Magazine's Muckracker column pointed out 11/08/99, Milloy was also wrong about Inhofe being Chafee's replacement)</li></ul>Read other articles about Steve Milloy and his projects:John Schwartz, The Washington Post, February 21, 1999. <a href="http://www.skeptictank.org/hs/tscience.htm">"If you Seek the Truth, Don't Trash the Science."</a>P.R.

The <a href="http://www.cspinet.org/integrity/corp_funding.html">Integrity in Science</a> file on TASSC:<blockquote>THE ADVANCEMENT OF SOUND SCIENCE COALITION (TASSC) [defunct]"Support comes from companies like Procter & Gamble, Exxon, Dow Chemical, and Philip Morris." (Village Voice, 4/23/97)Milloy’s office is in the headquarters of APCO Associates, a Washington, D.C., PR firm that specializes in creating coalitions like TASSC. (Village Voice, April 29, 1997, p. 39)[Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) Web site, August 16, 1998] [T]his "sound science" coalition is supported by hundreds of corporations, including 3M, Amoco, Chevron, Dow Chemical, Exxon, General Motors, Occidental Petroleum, Philip Morris, Proctor & Gamble and W.R. Grace. Its objective is to act as a speakers bureau to deliver the corporate message that environmental public policy is not currently based on "sound science," and to counter excessive regulations that are based on what it considers "junk" science. O’Dywer’s PR Services reports that TASSC is "leading the charge against what it views as the unholy alliance between environmentalists and the media" (Feb. 1996).TASSC claimed to have 250 to 300 scientists as active members (Tulsa World, April 25, 1996).TASSC was created in 1993 to promote "sound science" in policy decision making. TASSC is chaired by former New Mexico governor Garrey Caruthers, and claims a membership of over 400 corporations. In addition to many corporate representatives, TASSC’s extensive advisory board contains well known "science skeptics" S. Fred Singer, Bruce Ames, Dr. Patrick Michaels, Michael Sanera, and Hugh Ellsaesser. (EWG)Steven Milloy, executive director of TASSC, is a self styled "junk science" critic who previously launched the Junk Science Page through the Environmental Policy Analysis Network (EPAN), a group he started in 1996. Milloy is also a lobbyist for the EOP Group, a DC-based lobbying firm that represents theAmerican Crop Protection Association, the Chlorine Chemistry Council, Edison Electric Institute, among others. Under Milloy’s personal listing of groups he represents through the EOP Group in 1996 were Fort Howard Corp., the International Food Additives Association, and Monsanto.

In the biographical sketch that accompanies "The Fear Profiteers" (see cover story of this issue), Steven Milloy describes himself as the publisher of the Junk Science Home Page and an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute. "Milloy appears frequently on radio and television; has testified on risk assessment and Superfund before the U.S. Congress; and has lectured before numerous organizations," it adds, noting that he has also "written articles that have appeared in the New York Post, USA Today, Washington Times, The Chicago Sun-Times, and the Investors' Business Daily."These facts are all accurate as far they go, but they say nothing about how Milloy came to be a prominent debunker of "junk science." This omission is undoubtedly by design, because it would certainly be embarrassing to admit that a self-proclaimed scientific reformer got his start as a behind-the-scenes lobbyist for the tobacco industry, which has arguably done more to corrupt science than any other industry in history ...

Who produces the 'junk-science' claims, and who decides what is junk?One of the most disturbing effects of globalisation, and the economic rationalist policies which accompany it, is that scientific research has been usurped by corporations and industry associations around the world.There's a growing dependence on corporate-sector financing of all kinds of research -- and much of this is designed to produce a predetermined outcome. As a result, there's a glut of dubious data permeating the media and the Internet which appears to be independent and informed, but which has its origins in partisan think-tanks, public relations companies, entrepreneurial science organisers, and pay-for-service public-polling organisations ...

More recently, Milloy has turned his jaundiced eye toward human-driven climate disruption, organic milk, and apparently, Syngenta’s herbicide atrazine. Beyond this, Milloy’s own public statements on climate disruption reveal him to be either <a href="http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2011/05/20/milloy-either-incompetent-or-liar/">incompetent or a liar-for-hire</a>. Given how much money he commands in “grants” to his supposedly non-profit and/or tax-exempt foundations, I suspect that Milloy is actually quite competent.Milloy represents a political underbelly that needs strongly enforced regulations and a great deal of sunlight. But he’s just one of the more visible tips of this particular iceberg. After all, CMD identified four other supposedly disinterested third parties that Syngenta paid to cast doubt upon the science that found atrazine was environmentally toxic. How many other people have been paid through foundations, think tanks, and PR companies to do the same.Related posts (automated):<ol><li><a href="http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2008/05/27/exxonmobiles-ironic-ally-steve-milloy/" rel="bookmark" title="ExxonMobil’s ironic ally: Steve Milloy">ExxonMobil’s ironic ally: Steve Milloy</a></li><li><a href="http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2011/05/20/milloy-either-incompetent-or-liar/" rel="bookmark" title="Milloy proves he’s either incompetent or a liar in latest op-ed">Milloy proves he’s either incompetent or a liar in latest op-ed</a></li><li><a href="http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2008/01/11/an-open-letter-to-steven-milloy/" rel="bookmark" title="An open letter to Steven Milloy">An open letter to Steven Milloy</a></li><li><a href="http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2007/06/03/steve-gilliard-1966-2007/" rel="bookmark" title="Steve Gilliard 1966-2007">Steve Gilliard 1966-2007</a></li><li><a href="http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2010/07/16/the-letter-that-steve-jobs-ought-to-write-to-apple-customers/" rel="bookmark" title="The letter that Steve Jobs ought to write to Apple customers">The letter that Steve Jobs ought to write to Apple customers</a></li></ol> <a href="http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2012/02/09/steve-milloy-is-still-a-fact-fighter-for-hire/">http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2012/02/09/steve-milloy-is-still-a-fact-fighter-for-hire</a> <div style="text-align: center;"><div class="post" style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2012/02/09/steve-milloy-is-still-a-fact-fighter-for-hire/trackback/">Copy this link for the trackback URL</a></div></div></div> ----popsci...“There’s really only about 25 of us doing this,” Steve Milloy says, shortly after sitting down at Morton’s, a Washington, D.C., steakhouse favored by lawyers and lobbyists. “A core group of skeptics. It’s a ragtag bunch, very Continental Army.” Milloy, a Fox News commentator and former tobacco-industry advocate, runs a website called JunkScience.com that is an outlet for attacks on those he calls “global-warming alarmists.” Many of those who question mainstream climate science resent being called deniers; they say it unfairly equates them with Holocaust deniers. They prefer doubters, skeptics or realists. “Me, I just stick with denier,” Milloy says. “I’m happy to be a denier.”

Milloy is dressed in a striped pink button-down shirt and khaki pants, classic Potomac prep. He moved into climate denial in the 1990s as funding from the tobacco lobby began to dry up. At the time, conservative and libertarian think tanks were just starting to take aim at climate science. Milloy, who has received funding from entities controlled by oil billionaires Charles and David Koch, helps them get their message to the masses.

Milloy and other aggressive deniers practice a form of asymmetric warfare that is decentralized and largely immune to reasoned response. They launch what Aaron Huertas, a press secretary at the Union of Concerned Scientists, calls “information missiles,” anti-climate-change memes that get passed around on listservs, amplified in the blogosphere, and picked up by radio talk-show hosts or politicians. “Even if they don’t have much money, they are operating in a structure that allows them to punch above their weight,” Huertas says.

Scientists who speak up quickly become targets. Both Milloy and his counterpart Marc Morano, who runs the site ClimateDepot.com and once declared that climate scientists “deserve to be publicly flogged,” occasionally publish the e-mail addresses of climate researchers, a stunt that can result in scientists receiving a flood of vitriolic messages. A few weeks before our meeting, Milloy had offered a $500 bounty for a video of anyone who would heckle Mann with “an alarmism-debunking” question during the California leg of his book tour. The hecklers never materialized but, as with the white powder in Mann’s letter (which the FBI determined to be cornstarch), the threat made an impact.

Mann calls Milloy “a valueless, all-purpose denier for notorious industries who need a hired gun.” But Milloy, like others in the movement, says that he’s fighting an existential war with forces that would, without his intervention, steal the American way of life. “This whole green thing, the whole environmental scare industry, is really just an ingenious plan to exert government control over everything we do,” Milloy says. “I have yet to see an environmental scare that is remotely true when it comes to human health. Secondhand smoke, air quality, ozone depletion, pesticides, superfund sites—you name it.....http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2012-06/battle-over-climate-change?single-page-view=true

When the story broke a few years ago that he had received over $180,000 from Big Tobacco, Fox News said it was unaware of Milloy's connection with Philip Morris. Any affiliation he had should have been disclosed.Documents obtained by CMD show that Milloy has also received <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/images/8/88/Syn_Email_Milloy_Asking_for_Grants.pdf" title="reference on an unknown number of checks for $25,000 each from Syngenta" target="blank">an unknown number of checks for $25,000 each from Syngenta</a> (PDF) to amplify its talking points on atrazine. In one e-mail to Syngenta he asks if it is too soon to ask for another $25,000 and another email notes he was receiving payments in $15,000 increments. His projects at the time were about the "free enterprise" system. His most recent payment from Syngenta and the total amount he has received from corporation is not known.When it comes to atrazine, Milloy has helped target UC-Berkeley integrative biology professor Tyrone Hayes. The professor is a leading independent scientist investigating the potential damage to health from atrazine exposure. He has spent over a decade researching atrazine and has reported findings that the weed-killer causes gender abnormalities in frogs -- even among frogs that were exposed to the weed-killer in doses smaller than the EPA sets as the limit for the annual average amount in drinking water.Milloy has called Hayes a "<a href="http://junkscience.com/2011/11/09/syngenta-atrazine-benefits-u-s-consumers-by-up-to-4-8-billion-annually/" title="reference on Berserkeley atrazine-hater" target="blank">Berserkeley atrazine-hater</a>" and has repeatedly attacked Hayes' scientific findings publicly. The Fox blogger has even gone so far as to accuse Hayes of lying about how he conducted the experiments: "We can't even be sure the concentrations of atrazine in the lab tanks are what Hayes' claims. After all, it's a lot easier to say the solution is 0.1 ppb of atrazine than it is to actually verify the assertion."In the same blog post, called "<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,69497,00.html" title="reference on Freaky-Frog Fraud" target="blank">Freaky-Frog Fraud</a>," Milloy asserts that "Hayes seems to be determined to scare the public about atrazine."

He originally ran the <a href="http://www.exxonsecrets.org/html/orgfactsheet.php?id=56" class="external text" title="http://www.exxonsecrets.org/html/orgfactsheet.php?id=56" rel="nofollow">National Environmental Policy Institute</a> (NEPI) which was founded by Republican Rep <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Don_Ritter&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Don Ritter (page does not exist)">Don Ritter</a> (who tried to get <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Tobacco_industry" title="Tobacco industry">tobacco industry</a> funding) using oil and gas industry funding.[<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=SourceWatch:Citation_needed" title="SourceWatch:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] NEPI was dedicated to transforming both the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=EPA" title="EPA" class="mw-redirect">EPA</a> and the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=FDA" title="FDA" class="mw-redirect">FDA</a>, and challenging the cost of Superfund toxic cleanups by these large corporations.NEPI was also associated with the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Air_Quality_Standards_Coalition" title="Air Quality Standards Coalition">Air Quality Standards Coalition</a> (AQSC) which was devoted to weakening Clean Air laws. This organization took up the cry of "we need <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Sound_science" title="Sound science">sound science</a>" from the chemical industry as a way to counter claims of pollution -- and Milloy became involved in what became known as the "sound-science" movement. Its most effective ploy was to label scientific findings that were detrimental to the large funding corporations as "junk." Milloy was one of its most effective lobbyists because he wrote well, and used humor.Milloy joined <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Philip_Morris" title="Philip Morris" class="mw-redirect">Philip Morris</a>'s specialist-science/PR company <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=APCO%26_Associates" title="APCO & Associates" class="mw-redirect">APCO & Associates</a> in 1992 as a consultant, working behind the scenes on a business venture known as "<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Issues_Watch" title="Issues Watch">Issues Watch</a>".<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Steven_J.Milloy#cite_note-0" title="">[1]</a> By this time, APCO had been taken over and become a part of the world-wide <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_market" class="external text" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_market" rel="nofollow">Grey Marketing</a> organization, and so Milloy was able to use the international organization as a feed source for services to corporations who had international problems.[<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=SourceWatch:Citation_needed" title="SourceWatch:Citation needed">citation needed</a>]Issues Watch bulletins were only given out to paying customers, so Milloy started for APCO the "Junkscience.com" web site, which gave him an outlet to attack health and environmental activists, and scientists who published findings not supportive of his client's businesses. Like most good PR it mixes some good, general criticism of science and science-reporting, with some outright distorted and manipulative pieces.The Junkscience web site was supposedly run by a pseudo-grassroots organization called <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=The_Advancement_of_Sound_Science_Coalition" title="The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition">The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition</a> (TASSC), organized by APCO for Philip Morris,<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Steven_J.Milloy#cite_note-1" title="">[2]</a> which initially paid ex-Governor <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Garrey_Carruthers" title="Garrey Carruthers">Garrey Carruthers</a> of New Mexico as a <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Front_groups" title="Front groups">front</a>.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Steven_J.Milloy#cite_note-2" title="">[3]</a> Milloy actually ran it from the back-room, and issued the press releases. Then when Carruthers resigned, Milloy started to call himself "Director." <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Bonner_Cohen" title="Bonner Cohen">Bonner Cohen</a> -- who also worked for APCO -- became "President."[<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=SourceWatch:Citation_needed" title="SourceWatch:Citation needed">citation needed</a>]Initially all of this was funded by Philip Morris, but later PM broadened the focus to gather even more funding by garnering participation from energy, pharmaceutical, chemical companies.

"According to Lisa Gonzalez, manager of external communications for Altria, the parent company of Philip Morris, Milloy was under contract there through the end of last year," Thacker wrote. "But, whereas Scripps Howard fired Fumento and apologized to its readers, Fox News continues to look the other way as Milloy accepts corporate handouts," Thacker writes. Fox's Paul Schur told Thacker, "Fox News is unaware of Milloy's connection with Philip Morris." <a href="https://ssl.tnr.com/p/docsub.mhtml?i=20060206&s=thacker020606" class="external autonumber" title="https://ssl.tnr.com/p/docsub.mhtml?i=20060206&s=thacker020606" rel="nofollow">[4]</a>Milloy is also the co-founder, with tobacco industry executive <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Thomas_J.Borelli" title="Thomas J.

According to a January 26, 2006 report in the Chicago Tribune, "The fund's advocacy stance boils down to opposing many of the things supported by traditional 'social investment funds,' because issues like <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Global_warming" title="Global warming">global warming</a> or corporate governance distract business from its real role of operating in the best interests of shareholders." However, its performance as an investment has been less than stellar. The Tribune called it the "Stupid Investment of the Week ... Strip away the rhetoric, and you're getting a very expensive, underperforming index fund, while Milloy and partner Thomas Borelli get a platform for raising their pet issues. ...

Yesterday we looked at the people and organizations around Steven J. Milloy of <a href="http://www.demanddebate.com/">DemandDebate.com</a> and <a href="http://www.junkscience.com/">JunkScience.com</a> and we concluded that the work of both Mr. Milloy and his associates are draped under a pall of suspicion and doubt. Today, in the final part of this series, I look at the individuals and organizations who financially support Mr. Milloy’s work and make him such an effective conservative soldier in the culture wars.When I started looking into DemandDebate.com’s financial sponsors, I was unable to determine who they really are. There’s no board of directors, no staff listed, not even a phone number and address. Not even a <a href="http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=demanddebate&tld=com">“WhoIs”</a> query finds DemandDebate.com’s patrons because Mr. Milloy <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/2/15/141513/629">anonymized his registration</a>. Initially, I didn’t even realize that Mr. Milloy was associated with DemandDebate.com. It’s only when you look at the site’s publications (like the discredited IPCC survey) that you discover that Steven J. Milloy is the executive director of DemandDebate.com. However, in the process of hunting for, and failing to discover, who exactly is funding DemandDebate.com, I did discover an amazing web of patronage that weaves back and forth through Mr. Milloy’s past and present in fascinating ways.Mr. Milloy’s JunkScience.com website is a black hole when it comes to who supports it. Officially it’s sponsored by Mr. Milloy’s Citizens for the Integrity of Science (CFIS), a group that a) doesn’t officially make enough money (<$25,000) to require it to reveal its backers and b) isn’t a non-profit that has to file public IRS Form 990s. This effectively keeps JunkScience.com’s monetary benefactors off the public radar. Since <a href="http://www.junkscience.com/failure_to_disclose.pdf">at least one Free Enterprise Education Institute (FEEI) document is actually housed on the JunkScience.com website</a>, it is possible that the FEEI is the source of CFIS’ money, but there’s no way to know with the information available. However, we do know that <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Citizens_for_the_Integrity_of_Science">Dr. Michael Gough of the Cato Institute is listed as the executive director of the CFIS</a>. Dr. Gough was a Director of <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Advancement_of_Sound_Science_Center">The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition (TASSC)</a>, the discredited and defunct organization that Mr. Milloy ran out of his house for years and that I discussed in detail yesterday. <a href="http://www.cato.org/people/gough.html">Dr. Gough</a> is still associated with the Cato Institute as an adjunct scholar and worked with Mr. Milloy while Milloy was himself an adjunct scholar of the Cato Institute.While there’s a strong likelihood that JunkScience.com and DemandDebate.com are funded by some other individual(s) or organization(s), there’s always a chance that Mr. Milloy himself is the direct backer of both websites. Based on his various connections to foundations and securities, he certainly makes enough money to back both sites himself.Mr. Milloy is one of the directors of the Free Enterprise Education Institute, along with Thomas J. Borelli and Deneen Moore Borelli. The FEEI sponsors the website <a href="http://www.csrwatch.com/">CSRWatch/SRIWatch</a>, a site devoted to opposing the corporate social responsibility movement as being too economically costly, and the <a href="http://www.freeenterpriser.com/FreeEnterpriser.aspx?name=guest">Free Enterpriser</a> online publication. According to the FEEI’s 2005 IRS Form 990, their total operating expenses over several years equaled approximately $477,000, of which $355,000 was paid to “Steven J. Milloy” of Potomac, Maryland for consulting services. The next highest expense for FEEI was for “website expenses,” presumably for CSRWatch/SRIWatch. In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Borelli are both associated with National Center for Public Policy Research, Mr. Borelli as a senior fellow for the Center in general and <a href="http://www.nationalcenter.org/bios/P21Speakers_Borelli.html">Mrs. Borelli</a> as a senior fellow for the Center’s <a href="http://www.nationalcenter.org/P21Index.html">Project 21</a>. Mr. Borelli used to work as Philip Morris’ director of scientific affairs and <a href="http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/action/document/page?tid=ylg52c00">Mrs. Borelli used to be his secretary</a> at Philip Morris. In addition, Mr. Borelli was <a href="http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/qaf57d00/pdf">involved with TASSC while he worked at Philip Morris</a>. While at Philip Morris, Mr. Borelli received and acted upon letters like <a href="http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/ofw87d00/pdf">this one from the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI)</a>: <blockquote>This dichotomy [between public panic over toxins and chemicals vs. public acceptance of food risks] suggests a strategy for using our general acceptance of foods as a means of deflating fears of chemicals. At the same time, it might be used to deflate public trust of government risk assessment….Bottles of CEI’s “Vino Veritas-Freedom of Speech Wine” were prepared and distributed, carrying on their labels a statement that, despite its validity, is illegal under [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, BATF] regulations: “There is significant evidence that moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages may reduce the risk of heart disease.”CEI’s position is that BATF policy prevents consumers from receiving truthful, useful information. BATF’s policy is illogical from the standpoint of public health, and illegal from the standpoint of the First Amendment. </blockquote>Mr. Milloy is presently an <a href="http://www.cei.org/dyn/view_Expert.cfm?Expert=71">adjunct scholar for the CEI</a>.While all of the FEEI’s financial backers are not available from the IRS Form 990, we know that the FEEI received $71,000 in 2005 – of which between $45,000 and $70,000 came from ExxonMobil, according to <a href="http://www.exxonsecrets.org/html/orgfactsheet.php?id=128#src4">ExxonSecrets.org research into ExxonMobil’s Form 990</a>. And we know that the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Claude_R.Lambe_Foundation">Claude R. Lambe Foundation</a> gave <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientgrants.php?recipientID=8117">$30,000 to FEEI in 2004</a>. The Claude R. Lambe Foundation is one of the three <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/funderprofile.php?funderID=9">Koch family charitable foundations</a> that also fund the Cato Institute and <a href="http://www.freedomworks.org/">Freedomworks</a> among others (including, not coincidentally, many of the other organizations we’ll be discussing here). The <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientsoffunder.php?funderID=8">Claude R. Lambe Foundation</a> also generously funds the Reason Foundation (mentioned both yesterday and below), the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the <a href="http://www.perc.org/about.php?id=719">Property and Environment Research Center</a> (discussed in more detail below), and the <a href="http://www.nationalcenter.org/">National Center for Public Policy Research</a>, where Mr. and Mrs. Borelli are both senior fellows. Another donor to the National Center for Public Policy Research is the <a href="http://www.scaife.com/cartha06.pdf">Carthage Foundation</a>, part of the Scaife family foundations (some of the grants of the Sarah Scaife Foundation are covered below), and it granted $50,000 in 2006.Mr. Milloy and Mr. Borelli (and Mrs. Borelli too, via her husband) have worked together and in parallel since at least 1993, manipulating science to serve their ideological and political ends. During that time they’ve been funded by Philip Morris, Exxon Mobile, and some of the largest conservative foundations in the United States.But while they may not have worked alongside each other for much of that period, they do now: Mr. Milloy and Mr. Borelli are not only co-directors of the FEEI, but they’re both advisers for their politically conservative mutual fund, <a href="http://www.freeenterpriseactionfund.com/">the Free Enterprise Action Fund (FEAFund)</a>.As advisers to the FEAFund, Mr. Milloy and Mr. Borelli split a 1.25% commission. According to <a href="http://www.freeenterpriseactionfund.com/FEAF_Annual.pdf">the FEAFund’s annual report for 2006</a>, the commission was just over $75,000. While this is a significant amount of money, it’s in addition to the $355,000 Mr. Milloy earned via FEEI and to the estimated $130,000 earned annually by the law and business consulting firm “Steven J. Milloy Inc.” (data available from <a href="http://www.manta.com/">Manta.com</a>). When combined, Mr. Milloy’s approximately $500,000 income would be more than sufficient for him to “self-fund” both JunkScience.com, DemandDebate.com, and all his other web projects out of his own personal wealth. Whether he actually does so is an open question.As mentioned above, Mr. Milloy earned a hefty “consulting fee” from CFIS that was largely paid by ExxonMobil. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to dig deeper into “Steven J. Milloy Inc.” to find out whom Mr. Milloy’s legal and consulting clients are. At least, not yet. But because it’s federal law that the identities of a mutual fund’s principle investors are public information, and because I hadn’t ever seen these investors detailed during my research, I chose totrack down the main sponsors of Mr. Milloy’s FEAFund. Their backing is what enables Mr. Milloy to earn an advisory commission on the FEAFund’s assets, and as such they qualify as indirect backers of Mr. Milloy’s efforts via JunkScience.com and DemandDebate.com.As of April 1, 2007, <a href="http://www.secinfo.com/dsVS7.u3Fe.htm#9jmi">SEC documents show</a> that there were eight investors who held more than 5% of the Free Enterprise Action Fund, of which seven held 9% or greater. These seven are William Dunn (19%), Arthur Dantchik (10%), Thomas L. Phillips (10%), Robert A. Levy (10%), the Claws Foundation (9%), The Randolph Foundation (9%), and Donors Capitol Fund (9%). These seven investors control a combined total of 76% of the total assets of the fund.The largest shareholder, William Dunn of Stuart, Florida, is the director of Dunn Capitol Management and the founder of <a href="http://dunns-foundation-for-the-advancement-of-right-thinking.idilogic.aidpage.com/dunns-foundation-for-the-advancement-of-right-thinking/">Dunn’s Foundation for the Advancement of Right Thinking</a>. William A. Dunn of Stuart, Florida is also a director of the <a href="http://www.cei.org/pages/bdunn.cfm">Competitive Enterprise Institute</a>. In addition, he is a Director and a member of the Board of Trustees for the <a href="http://www.reason.org/faqs.shtml">Reason Foundation</a> and a Director of the <a href="http://www.perc.org/about.php?id=719">Property and Environment Research Center</a> (PERC). If you’ll recall from yesterday’s post, Mr. Milloy’s associate Kenneth P. Green (currently of the American Enterprise Institute) used to work for the Reason Foundation and Mr. Milloy himself works with the Competitive Enterprise Institute.Dunn’s Foundation for the Advancement of Right Thinking gave away over <a href="http://dunns-foundation-for-the-advancement-of-right-thinking.idilogic.aidpage.com/dunns-foundation-for-the-advancement-of-right-thinking/index.b124.u138.htm#GranteesList">$3 million in grants in 2004 alone</a>, with much of that money going to organizations associated in some way with Mr. Milloy or people he knows: $445,000 to the CEI, $370,000 to the Institute for Justice (see Arthur Dantchik below), $370,000 to PERC, $308,000 to the Reason Foundation, $185,000 to the Cato Institute, and $25,000 to the AEI. Some of the other backers for both the CEI, PERC, and Reason Foundation have been the <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientsoffunder.php?funderID=9">Charles G. Koch</a> and the <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientsoffunder.php?funderID=10">David H. Koch</a> Charitable Foundations. The Charles G. Koch foundation funds the CEI and PERC to the tune of almost $60,000 and $15,000 respectively. The David H. Koch foundation granted $315,000 to the CEI between 1995 and 2001 and over $1.5 million to the Reason Foundation between 1986 and 2001.The next largest shareholder in the FEAFund is Arthur Dantchik of Bela Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. Mr. Dantchik is one of the founders of the Susquehanna Investment Group and is a Director for the <a href="http://www.ij.org/profile/board/index.html">Institute for Justice</a>. He works with fellow FEAFund shareholder and Cato Institute director/senior fellow Robert A. Levy (see below) at the aforementioned Institute for Justice. In addition, he is on the board of directors for another FEAFund shareholder, the Claws Foundation. According to Claws Foundation’s 2006 IRS Form 990-PF, one of Mr. Dantchik’s fellow Claws Foundation directors is a co-founder of the Susquehanna Investment Group and director of the <a href="http://www.cato.org/people/directors.html">Cato Institute</a>, Jeffrey Yass. The other director of the Claws Foundation is Alan P. Dye, a director of <a href="http://www.freedomhouse.org/template.cfm?boardmember=12&page=10">Freedom House</a> and <a href="http://www.ronpaul2008.com/contact/">legal counsel to the Ron Paul for President campaign</a>. The Claws Foundation itself is not a political organization – it exists largely to fund medical research.Since 1999, Mr. Dantchik has given over <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/indivs/search.asp?key=karmt&txtName=Dantchik,%20arthur&txtAll=Y&Order=N&Cycles=A&page=2">$263,000 to conservative causes, including approximately $22,000 to 2004 congressional candidates outside of his own state of Pennsylvania</a>. Mr. Dantchik’s Institute for Justice has received a total of <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientsoffunder.php?funderID=9">$265,000 in donations from the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation from 1986 through 2005</a>, another $1.35 million from the <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientsoffunder.php?funderID=10">David H. Koch Charitable Foundation</a> between 1995 and 2001, and over $1.1 million from the <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientfundergrants.php?funderID=3&recipientID=170">Sarah Scaife Foundation</a> between 1992 and 2005. The Institute for Justice also received over $2 million from <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientfundergrants.php?funderID=1&recipientID=170">The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation</a> between 1992 and 2005, a massive conservative foundation that has also given extensively to the AIE (over $17 million between 1987 and 2005), the National Center for Policy Analysis (nearly $1.5 million), the Reason Foundation (nearly $1 million), the Cato Institute (about $860,000), the CEI (about $770,000), PERC (about $600,000), and the Thomas L. Phillips’ Philips Foundation (about $560,000), all between the mid 1980s and 2005. Thomas L. Phillips, creator of the Thomas L. Phillips Revocable Trust of McLean, Virginia, is another principle investor. Mr. Phillips has donated some money to local <a href="http://www.city-data.com/elec/elec-MCLEAN-VA.html">McLean, VA political races</a> and is the CEO of Phillips International, the parent company to the <a href="http://www.thephillipsfoundation.org/">Phillips Foundation</a>, <a href="http://www.eaglepub.com/">Eagle Publishing</a>, and <a href="http://www.healthydirections.com/">Healthy Directions LLC</a>(formerly Phillips Health). The Phillips Foundation is a non-profit foundation that offers journalism fellowships for journalists “who share the Foundation’s mission to advance constitutional principles, a democratic society and a vibrant free enterprise system,” with special fellowships for writing on the environment from a free-market perspective. Most of the <a href="http://www.thephillipsfoundation.org/index.php?q=node/">Phillips Foundation trustees</a> are associated with Phillips International in some way. Thomas Phillips is obvious, but the president of conservative uber-publisher Regnery Publishing, Alfred S Regnery, is another trustee, as is Eagle Publishing director Thomas A. Fuentes. Eagle Publishing is the parent company for <a href="http://www.regnery.com/index.html">Regnery Publishing</a>, the publisher of the “Politically Incorrect Guides” and books like <a href="http://www.regnery.com/books/unfitforcommand.html">Unfit for Command</a> and <a href="http://www.regnery.com/books/meninblack.html">Men in Black</a>. Eagle Publishing also publishes the Evans-Novak Political Report, conservative “news” source <a href="http://www.humanevents.com/">Human Events</a> (which counts Ann Coulter as the legal affairs editor and Ms. Coulter, Newt Gingrich, Pat Buchanan, Robert Novak, Sen. James Imhoffe, Rush Limbaugh, Phyllis Schlafly, Michelle Malkin, Bill O’Reilly, and other conservative luminaries as commentators), and runs the <a href="http://www.conservativebookclub.com/DefaultJoin.asp?">Conservative Book Club</a>. In addition, Mr. Phillips has given significant support to <a href="http://www.nccfpac.com/">the National Conservative Campaign Fund (NCCF)</a>, a group whose <a href="http://www.nccfpac.com/officers.cfm">directors and advisory board</a> are composed of <a href="http://www.hartwilliams.com/blog/2006/07/unlimited-terms-of-endearment-part-vii.html">Phillips and most of the rest of the leaders of the Phillips Foundation</a>. Mr. Phillips’ connections at the NCCF are good enough to have had <a href="http://www.nccfpac.com/events.cfm">Vice President Dick Cheney to come over for an NCCF reception at the Phillips’ home</a>.Mr. Phillips has donated over $124,000 in support of conservative causes and elections since 1996, and his National Conservative Campaign Fund has given approximately $532,000 to Republican candidates since the 2000 election cycle (Source: <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/lookup2.asp?strid=C00348359&cycle=2008">Opensecrets.org</a>). In 2006, the Phillips Foundation raised $68,000 from Phillips International, $10,000 from Foundation trustee Robert Novak, and $5,000 from the Randolph Foundation, another significant investor in the Mr. Milloy’s FEAFund, and it has also received over <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientsoffunder.php?funderID=9">$107,000 from the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation from 2002 to 2005</a>.<a href="http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2007/11/28/we-berate-you-deride-a-look-at-steven-j-milloys-current-affiliates-and-backers/">http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2007/11/28/we-berate-you-deride-a-look-at-steven-j-milloys-current-affiliates-and-backers/</a> As I mentioned above, the <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/funderprofile.php?funderID=21">Randolph Foundation</a> is another significant investor in Mr. Milloy’s FEAFund. Randolph Foundation trustee James Q. Wilson is also Chairman of the AEI’s <a href="http://www.aei.org/about/filter.,contentID.20038142214500076/default.asp">Council of Academic Advisers</a>. The Randolph Foundation is a relatively new conservative foundation, so there’s not a lot of information on them available, but the 2005 Form 990 shows that the Foundation is a significant donor to the AEI ($50,000) and the CEI ($18,000) and, as mentioned above, a minor donor to the Phillips Foundation.And while we’re on the topic of the AEI, we should probably point out that another major conservative fund, the <a href="http://www.scaife.com/sarah06.pdf">Sarah Scaife Foundation</a>, gave the AEI $575,000 in 2006, along with $60,000 for the Cato Institute, $350,000 for the CEI, $125,000 for the <a href="http://www.ncpa.org/">National Center for Policy Analysis</a> (where Mr. Milloy’s associate and AEI “briber” Ken Green is an environment expert), and another $125,000 to the Reason Foundation.The second to last of the major investors is Robert A. Levy LLC, a business founded of Silver Spring Maryland. Robert A. Levy, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/17/AR2007031701055_pf.html">formerly of Silver Spring</a> and presently residing in Florida, is the <a href="http://www.cato.org/people/levy.html">Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies and a member of the Board of Directors at the Cato Institute</a>. Mr. Levy gave <a href="http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/cdj02d00/pdf">Congressional testimony regarding the global tobacco settlement</a>, specifically suggesting that the settlement was “a shameful document, extorted by public officials who have perverted the rule of law to tap the deep pockets of a feckless and friendless industry.” Given that Mr. Levy still works for the Cato Institute with Dr. Michael Gough, and Dr. Gough is associated with Mr. Milloy through CFIS, it’s not unreasonable that Mr. Levy would be in a position to become a major shareholder in the FEAFund.The last major investor is <a href="http://www.donorscapitalfund.org/home.html">Donors Capital Fund (DCFund)</a>, a large fund associated with <a href="http://www.donorstrust.org/">Donors Trust</a>, a group that professes to be “the sole donor-advised plan dedicated to promoting a free society and serving donors who serve that purpose.” Several of the directors of DCFund have connections to groups that are related to Mr. Milloy directly or through other avenues. For example, two of the directors are associated with the American Enterprise Institute, namely <a href="http://www.donorscapitalfund.org/home.html?x=6">AEI’s President, Christopher DeMuth</a>, and <a href="http://www.donorscapitalfund.org/home.html?x=6">Steven F. Hayward, the F.K Weyerhaeuser Fellow in Law and Economics</a>. DCFund co-founder and Executive Director Whitney L. Ball once served as the Director of Development for the Cato Institute, is presently associated with <a href="http://www.philanthropyroundtable.org/">The Philanthropy Roundtable</a> and, via that association is also connected to <a href="http://www.philanthropyroundtable.org/content.asp?pl=406&contentid=434">Philanthropy Roundtable Vice-Chairman</a> and Randolph Foundation director Heather R. Higgins. Director Walter H. Mellor is the co-founder and President of the Institute for Justice, the same organization that fellow FEAFund principle investor Arthur Dantchik is a director of. The President of Donors Trust, Kimberly O. Dennis, is also the Executive Director of the <a href="http://www.searlefreedomtrust.org/">Searle Freedom Trust</a>, is Secretary for the Philanthropy Roundtable, and is a Director of PERC alongside fellow FEAFund principle investor William Dunn.In addition to all the personal connections between the various investors and the DCFund, the DCFund has also granted a total of $23,000 to the AEI, $44,000 to the Cato Institute, $36,000 to the Reason Foundation, and $12,000 each to the CEI and Institute for Justice in 2006 alone (from the 2006 Form 990).These connections are what I could find via the various foundations’ websites and public FEC, SEC, and IRS documents. However, over the years there have been many more connections between Mr. Milloy and various corporations, conservative individuals, and conservative foundations. Given Mr. Milloy’s history of working for businesses who want to discredit profit-suppressing scientific data and his connections throughout the entire conservative money machine, it’s probably reasonable to guess that his financial backers for any particular project are the groups or individuals with the most to lose – ExxonMobil and Shell Oil vs. global heating, Philip Morris vs. second-hand tobacco smoke, Monsanto et al vs. Horizon Organic, etc.Mr. Milloy’s connections to the tobacco lawsuits in the 1990s as an official supplier of deceit and “junk science” casts a long shadow over his credibility, but he could have escaped that shadow by now if he had ever chosen to do so. Instead, Mr. Milloy continues to associate with purveyors of scientific propaganda and disinformation such as Kenneth Green of the AEI, Thomas and Deneen Borelli of the National Center for Public Policy Research, Michael Gough of the Cato Institute, and both the Competitive Enterprise Institute and Fox News in toto. In addition, via what little we’ve been able to glean about who funds Mr. Milloy’s various websites and institutes, it’s obvious that he’s continued a pattern of working for corporations (and their direct representatives) who have a vested interest in manipulating and distorting science to their particular ends. As such, even if DemandDebate.com’s survey of the IPCC “scientific consensus” were scientific, Mr. Milloy’s history and associations make him a dubious source for anything resembling real science, his publication of the ironically-titled <a href="http://www.junkscience.com/">JunkScience.com</a> notwithstanding.It’s important to understand that Mr. Milloy’s connections with the AEI, CEI, Cato Institute, Reason Foundation, and through them to the Randolph Foundation, Philanthropy Roundtable, Donors Capital Fund and Trust, the Phillips Foundation, PERC, et al doesn’t mean that Mr. Milloy is the guiding force behind these connections. He is a single thread, albeit an important one, in an intricate tapestry of denial and misrepresentation of science in the service of conservative ideology. Through the deep pockets of his various corporate and conservative supporters over the years, he’s become a very effective conservative soldier in the war for the minds, and votes, of the people.Mr. Milloy’s connections and access to money fostered over years make him a very effective conservative soldier in the culture wars. And he’s not alone – the very same people who back Mr. Milloy also back Ken Green, Tom and Deneen Borelli, Michael Gough, John Yoo, C. Boyden Gray, to name just a few. Backed by money from corporations and wealthy conservative foundations, Mr. Milloy and his ilk attempt to use propaganda to further their own ideological ends, in this case by fostering a false sense of scientific uncertainty over global heating when in fact there is a <a href="http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2007/07/23/anti-global-heating-claims-a-reasonably-thorough-debunking/">great deal of certainty about the science of global heating</a>. And they won’t go away just because President Bush leaves office in January 2009 – they have too much to lose, ideologically and financially, to just roll over and go away when their <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/02/20030226-11.html">favorite President</a> has finished his second term.Next time you read about something from JunkScience.com, DemandDebate.com, StopLabelingLies.com, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, or watch Steve Milloy on Fox News, remember who the source is.Monday: <a href="http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2007/11/26/we-berate-you-deride-demanddebatecoms-survey-on-the-scientific-consensus-surrounding-global-heating/">DemandDebate.comâ€™s survey on the scientific consensus surrounding global heating</a>

However, its performance as an investment has been less than stellar.The Tribune called it the "Stupid Investment of the Week ... Strip away the rhetoric, and you're getting a very expensive, underperforming index fund, while Milloy and partner Thomas Borelli get a platform for raising their pet issues. ... An expense ratio capped at 2 percent--ridiculously high for a portfolio of corporate giants--makes stock market returns unrealistic.

The high costs would largely have been incurred because of EPA standards that essentially would have required the former weapons sites be returned to “Garden of Eden” status. At the time, the DOE took the EPA standards so seriously that it was actually developing essentially a giant vacuum cleaner to suck-up the top layer of sand at the Nevada Test Site (approximately 5,400 square miles in size), decontaminate it and replace the sand. </a></li><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><a name="Wins.2C_Accomplishments_and_Memorable_Moments.28under_development.29" style="line-height: 19.05px; background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">

Milloy’s team of science and policy experts (called the Regulatory Information Analysis Project) compiled a report titled, “Choices in Risk Assessment: The Role of Science Policy in the Environmental Risk Management Process.” Completed in the fall of 1994, the report concluded that environmental policy was largely based on politics, not science. But when the report was completed and circulated for review within the Clinton administration-run DOE, the report was flagged as politically incorrect and Milloy was ordered by staffers of Clinton appointee Carol Henry (a former EPA staffer) to keep the report secret. Sacrificing his business relationship with the Clinton DOE, Milloy disobeyed the order and released the report, which was subsequently featured in a Wall Street Journal editorial. The attention that “Choices in Risk Assessment” garnered coincided with the Republican takeover of 104th Congress and congressional focus on regulatory reform, vaulting Milloy into the regulatory reform debate about to take place on Capitol Hill. </a><a href="http://www.debunkosaurus.com/debunkosaurus/index.php/Milloy_Congressional_testimony_March_6_1995" title="Milloy Congressional testimony March 6 1995" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Milloy testified before the U.S. Senate about risk assessment in the context of DOE clean-up on March 6, 1995.</a> The DOE never wound up spending hundreds of billions of dollars to clean up its weapons sites.

</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Prevented the EPA from Stalin-izing statistical significance. In May 1996, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed to update its guidelines for conducting cancer risk assessments. Milloy discovered that the EPA surrepticiously deleted the requirement that epidemiologic data be statistically significant before they can be used to infer cause-and-effect relationships. Statistical significance was a sore spot with the EPA since it had given the EPA fits with respect to the epidemiologic studies on <a href="http://www.debunkosaurus.com/debunkosaurus/index.php/Secondhand_smoke(Environmental_Tobacco_Smoke)" title="Secondhand smoke (Environmental Tobacco Smoke)" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">secondhand smoke</a>. When Milloy asked the EPA whether it intended to delete the requirement or whether the omission was innocent, the EPA denied the requirement had been deleted. When other members of the public inquired about the deletion/omission, the EPA denied it. When members of Congress inquired about the deletion, the EPA again denied it. The persistent Milloy <a href="http://www.junksciencearchive.com/news/statistical-significance-comments.html" class="external text" title="http://www.junksciencearchive.com/news/statistical-significance-comments.html" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line: none; padding-right: 13px; background-image: url(" http="http" www.debunkosaurus.com="www.debunkosaurus.com" debunkosaurus="debunkosaurus" skins="skins" monobook="monobook" external.png="external.png" background-attachment="background-attachment" initial="initial" background-color="background-color" background-size="background-size" background-origin="background-origin" background-clip="background-clip" background-position="background-position">publicized</a> the issue to great effect and and brought the issue before the EPA's Science Advisory Board which rejected the EPA's denials. In its review letter to EPA administrator Carol Browner, the SAB wrote in polite bureaucrat-ese: "There is (in the proposed guidelines) no explicit statement in the proposal that statistical significance should be a basic requirement for determining causality. This lack of an explicit statement has been interpreted as misleading and implying there is a hidden intent to eliminate statistical significance as a consideration in assessing causality. Adding appropriate and specific language concerning statistical significance should rectify this problem."

Milloy learned of the study's imminent publication five days ahead of publication (January 14, 1999) and broke the news on JunkScience.com. The Washington Times picked up the story, made inquiries at the American Medical Association, and published on its front page a story titled, "<a href="http://junksciencearchive.com/jan99/wtjama.html" class="external text" title="http://junksciencearchive.com/jan99/wtjama.html" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line: none; padding-right: 13px; background: url(" http="http" www.debunkosaurus.com="www.debunkosaurus.com" debunkosaurus="debunkosaurus" skins="skins" monobook="monobook" external.png="external.png" no-repeat="no-repeat">AMA Releases Old Survey on Oral Sex Just in Time for President's Trial</a>." Within 24 hours, JAMA editor George Lundberg was fired.

The study in question, as an example, was a stale, eight-year old study of college students that Lundberg dusted off and rushed to publication in a misquided effort to involve JAMA in President Clinton's impeachment trial.

JunkScience.com was instrumental in the fight for "data access" -- the right of the public to review taxpayer-funded scientific data used to support federal regulation. Here's one way, JunkScience.com helped. Science magazine reported on April 2, 1999 that,<blockquote>"Scientists opposing a controversial data-access proposal appear to be headed for a lopsided win in an unusual skirmish--even as their opponents are raffling off prizes to gain allies. Acting on legislation pushed by Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL), the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in January released a controversial proposal to require taxpayer-funded researchers to hand over their raw data to anyone who files a request (Science, 12 February, p. 914). The agency gave the public until 5 April to comment, sparking a furious letter-writing campaign both for and against the proposal. Last month, rule opponents--including most scientific societies--were alarmed to discover that the other side was ahead in the comment contest, in part because it was offering a creative incentive: People who used the Junk Science Web page (www.junkscience.com) to write to OMB could win a subscription to an environmental policy newsletter or the electronic Wall Street Journal. But the tide has turned in the last few weeks: The 1600-and-counting comments OMB has received so far are running 4 to 1 against the rule, says the Washington-based American Association of Universities. Whether the landslide will persuade OMB to rewrite the proposal, however, won't be known until later this year, when it must finalize the rule."</blockquote>But JunkScience.com didn't give up. Two weeks later, Science reported,<blockquote style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">"In an 11th-hour campaign to tip the scales in their favor, supporters of a controversial new data-access law flooded the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in early April with letters supporting its implementation. Many scientists oppose the provision, pushed by Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL), which would force taxpayer-funded researchers to hand over raw data to the public on request (Science, 2 April, p. 23). But when a public comment period closed on 5 April, supporters appeared to have cranked out the majority of more than 10,000 comments sent to OMB, although no exact count was available."</blockquote></li><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">COP-ped the IPCC's URL. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's third annual "conference of the parties" of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP-3) was held in Kyoto, Japan in December 1997 and was hosted at <a href="http://www.cop3.org/" class="external free" title="http://www.cop3.org" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line: none; padding-right: 13px; background: url(" http="http" www.debunkosaurus.com="www.debunkosaurus.com" debunkosaurus="debunkosaurus" skins="skins" monobook="monobook" external.png="external.png" no-repeat="no-repeat">http://www.cop3.org</a>.

Around the time the study was published, the EPA was proposing to classify dioxin as 10 times more carcinogenic than previously considered.

Dose rates measured exceeded background radiation levels, ranging as high as 30 microrems per hour. This rate is: (1) up to 550 percent greater than the typical dose rate “at the fence line” around nuclear power plants; (2) about 13,000 times greater than the average individual dose rate from worldwide nuclear power production and the Chernobyl accident; and (3) exceeds the dose rate associated with the radiation protection standards proposed for the Yucca Mountain high-level nuclear waste facility by as much as 65 times.

The debate was to be moderated by CNBC host Melissa Francis. Though Milloy's Free Enterprise Action Fund had vigorously campaigned for almost three years against GE's support for global warming legislation, including at shareholder meetings where Immelt was publicly questioned, Milloy chatted amiably with Immelt for about 45 minutes at a pre-conference cocktail party, during which time Milloy mentioned to Immelt that he was scheduled to appear on GE-owned CNBC during the conference. Before Milloy's CNBC appearance, however, Immelt was grilled by free market supporters during the conference's opening event. Immelt received such a hard time that Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott, who witnessed the public drubbing, confessed to a Wall Street Journal host that what happened to Immelt had kept him up all night. When Milloy showed up for his debate with Lubber, he was told that he had been replaced by a Wall Street Journal staffer. Though he had appeared on CNBC many times before Immelt's ban, Milloy has not appeared on CNBC since.</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
