Exposing "Friends of Science" as Big Oil mouthpiece, Part 2

More on The Globalist Global Warming Scum

A few days ago, I wrote Part 1: Carter & Harris: Gore "an embarrassment to U.S. science" in this series of diaries which slowly but surely exposes the hidden connections of Friends of Science to Big Oil and the electric companies.

Once establishing that connection, I then turn to the scientists themselves who have inexorably tied themselves to Big Oil and its tentacles in a variety of conservative think tanks.

First, many thanks to ExxonSecrets.org and SourceWatch.org for most of the information I gathered. They are invaluable resources, and I encourage all of you to use those sites.

Tech Central Station has a funding arm called the Tech Central Science Foundation.

Tech Central Station was launched in 1999 as "a cross between a journal of Internet opinion and a cyber think tank open to the public" (TCS news release). According to Washington Monthly, TCS is published by the DCI Group, "a prominent Washington public affairs firm specializing in P.R., lobbying, and so-called 'Astroturf' organizing, generally on behalf of corporations, GOP politicians, and the occasional Third-World despot." TCS shares office space, staff and ownership with DCI Group. Continue
