Robert Balling – Wikipedia, 12/12/2017 – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Balling
“Robert C. Balling, Jr. is a professor of geography at Arizona State University, and the former director of its Office of Climatology. His research interests include climatology, global climate change, and geographic information systems. Balling has declared himself one of the scientists who oppose the consensus on global warming, arguing in a 2009 book that anthropogenic global warming «is indeed real, but relatively modest»,[3] and maintaining that there is a publication bias in the scientific literature.”

“For the most part the industry has relied on a small band of skeptics—Dr. Richard S. Lindzen, Dr. Pat Michaels, Dr. Robert Balling, Dr. Sherwood Idso, and Dr. S. Fred Singer, among others—who have proven extraordinarily adept at draining the issue of all sense of crisis. Through their frequent pronouncements in the press and on radio and television, they have helped to create the illusion that the question is hopelessly mired in unknowns.”

“Ozone Action, an environmental lobbying group, charged that three researchers who are outspoken critics of the scientific evidence for global warming, Robert Balling, Patrick Michaels and Sherwood Idso, have received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the petroleum and coal industries.”

“The year before the 1992 United Nations Conference on the Environment in Rio, a coalition of coal and utility companies launched a disinformation campaign designed by a public relations firm to create the Information Council on the Environment (ICE). The plan specified the use of three so-called «greenhouse skeptics» — Drs. Robert Balling, Pat Michaels and Sherwood Idso — in broadcast appearances, op-ed articles and newspaper interviews in selected markets. The goal of the campaign was to «reposition global warming as theory rather than fact.»
Christian Jensen – How many climate researchers support the «Leipzig Declaration»? – Natural Science, 11/02/1998 – http://naturalscience.com/ns/letters/ns_let08.html
“Such an examination has been undertaken by Danish Broadcasting Company (DR1) journalist, Øjvind Hesselager (2). In late 1997 he attempted to contact every signatory (82 at the time) to the «Leipzig Declaration.» Of 33 European signatories: there were four he was unable to locate twelve denied having signed, and of these, some had not even heard of the «Leipzig Declaration» many signatories were not qualified in fields even remotely related to climate research. They included medical doctors, e.g., H. Metzner; nuclear scientists, e.g., M.J. Higatsberger; and one expert on flying insects, i.e., V. Svidersky some signatories had financial ties to the German coal industry or the Government of Kuwait (R. Balling and P. Michaels). These are hardly reliable authorities on climate research. Confronted with these facts, Singer removed many from the list, although not the five mentioned by name above (Dr. Metzner apparently played a central role in compiling the list of signatories). Other names were then added to make a total, today, of more than 100. ”

“Balling, a Marine-trim, boyish-looking 43-year-old author of a book on global warming titled ‘The Heated Debate’, has labeled concerns about climate change ‘pure media hype’.”

“In his collaborations with Sherwood Idso, Balling has received about $50,000 in research funding from Cyprus Minerals, as well as a separate grant of $4,900 from Kenneth Barr, who at the time was CEO of Cyprus. The German Coal Mining Association has provided about $80,000 in funding for Balling’s work. The British Coal Corporation has kicked in another $75,000. Balling disclosed his industry funding under oath during the administrate hearings in Minessota in 1995.”

«Giving the obvious economic interests of OPEC in the climate debate, it is not surprising that Balling has also received a grant of $48,000 from the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Science, as well as unspecified consulting fees from the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research.»

“Balling’s 1992 book … was published by a conservative think-tank, the Pacific Research Institute, one of whose goals is the large-scale repeal of environmental regulations. Balling’s book was subsequently translated into Arabic and distributed to the governments of the OPEC nations. The funding for this edition was provided by the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research.”

“In conversation, Lindzen takes pains to distance himself from Michaels and Balling. He told me that Michaels comes to the climate debate from the ‘scientific backwater of climatology’. He doesn’t really know ohysics and he should.’ He attributed what he called Balling’s ‘crude’ understanding of climate dynamics to his training as a geographer, and he criticized his book as actually supporting the very computer models it purports to discredit.” (p. 53-54)

«In March 1996 simultaneous press conferences were held in Geneva and London announcing the formation of the European Science and Environment Forum (ESEF) – the European branch of the skeptics … in Geneva, three of the group’s founders were asked whether their work was funded by industry. One, Roger Bate of Cambridge Universoty, said that he got a mix of public and private funding. The other two members declined to answer the question.. A list of founding members of the ESEF revealed the names Patrick Michaels, Robert Balling, and S. Fred Singer.” (p. 59-60)

“Although Balling contributed material to the Working Group II report, he is a prominent global-warming sceptic and a vocal critic of the IPCC… The fact that the IPCC’s consensus is backed by Christy, whose views on climate change have on occasion provided ammunition for global-warming sceptics, provides one indication that — despite its critics — the organization is working effectively. But where the IPCC goes from here is still being debated.”

“Because of their close ties to conservative think tanks, we examine the attention that climate change skeptics received in Congressional hearings on global warming and in the national print media between 1990 and 1997. The American climate change skeptics considered in this study are Sallie Baliunas, Robert Balling, Jr., Richard Lindzen, Patrick Michaels, and S. Fred Singer. Baliunas is an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, while Balling is Director of the Of. ce of Climatology at Arizona State University. Lindzen is an atmospheric scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Michaels is Virginia’s State Climatologist, and Singer is a retired professor of environmental science at the University of Virginia … all of these scientists are self -identified “skeptics” regarding anthropogenic climate change who challenge what they perceive as the false consensus of “mainstream” climate science. Balling, Lindzen, Michaels, and Singer signed the Leipzig Declaration, a petition that declared there is no scientific consensus on the existence of global warming.”

“During the 1990s, that effort had been spearheaded by Fred Palmer who, around the time of the Bush election, was hired as chief lobbyist for Peabody Energy. Prior to his hiring by Peabody, Palmer headed up the Western Fuels Association, a $400-million coal consortium that had funded a tiny handful of industry-funded ‘greenhouse skeptics’ who had long been dismissed by the mainstream scientific community. Throughout the 1990s, Palmer directed an extensive and extremely successful public relations offensive funded by the coal industry that used such prominent ‘greenhouse skeptics’ as Fred Singer, Pat Michaels, Sherwood Idso, and Robert Balling, among others.”

Internal ICE documents [ref] outlined the strategies for the campaign, which included the following: “Reposition global warming as theory (not fact),” “target print and radio media for maximum effectiveness,” “achieve broad participation across the entire electric utility,” and “use a spokesman from the scientific community.” ICE enlisted Robert Balling, Sherwood Idso, and Patrick Michaels, described by the Science article as “three of a half-dozen or so outspoken greenhouse dissidents among United States scientists” (Science 1991, 1784). The ICE documents also described the organization’s strategy of targeting less-educated segments of the population, which ICE test marketing had identified as most receptive to its message. The company placed some of its ads during the shows of media pundit Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh’s TV and radio shows enjoy weekly audiences of about twenty million people and spread Limbaugh’s ICE-resonating claims that there is “little scientific evidence” behind the theories of global warming and ozone depletion. Limbaugh boldly but wrongly claimed that his views are “validated by virtually every new study being done, with the exception of those using solely computer models” (Limbaugh 1994, 197).»

“TCS said the skeptics had been unfairly «muzzled.» It produced an array of them, almost all with long records of climate change denial. Dr. Robert Balling, Jr. of Arizona State, for instance, is author (with another leading climate skeptic, Patrick Michaels) of The Satanic Gases, published by the libertarian Cato Institute. Says Balling, «He [Gore] blames global warming for the eventual disappearance of the famous snows of Mt. Kilimanjaro. A bigger culprit is a decline in atmospheric moisture.» In Satanic Gases, he dismisses concerns about climate change. «Global warming?» he asks. «Get over it.» Gore comes under fire for declaring that the study of climate change should be NASA’s number one priority.”

“Did S. Fred Singer trick Revelle into an association to achieve an agenda? When the sequence of events is examined, the intentions seem to implicate his agenda. «The energy companies reportedly began taking steps to prevent the public from believing that humans are warming the planet» … «as early as the 1980’s». It looks like even then, Singer was working with Michaels, Balling, Ellsaesser and Lindzen.”

“Singer has admitted that it is possible the three successive drafts were distributed to Michaels, Balling, Ellsaesser and Lindzen; further, he describes receiving their comments and incorporating their contributions. No evidence has surfaced that Revelle was ever made aware that such a team was actually writing “Revelle’s article.”»

“As with a clutch of other industry-funded academics who quibble over climate change, Dr. Balling is happy to use his Ph.D. and his title to suggest expertise and to imply scientific objectivity. But readers might be better able to judge the quality of his input if they knew that he has been the eager recipient of funding from such philanthropic organizations as ExxonMobil, the British Coal Corporation, Cyprus Minerals and OPEC. Per the link above, Sourcewatch lists his take from these sources at a little over $400,000 in the last 10 years.”
Jim Hoggan – Oil Companies Funding Friends of Science, Tim Ball takes the brunt – Desmogblog, 12/08/2006 – http://www.desmogblog.com/oil-companies-funding-friends-of-science
“The G&M says that FOS has taken undisclosed sums from Alberta oil and gas interests. The money was funneled through the Calgary Foundation, to the University of Calgary and on to the FOS though something called the “Science Education Fund.” All this appears to be orchestrated by Stephen Harper’s long-time political confidante and fishing buddy, U. Calgary Prof Dr. Barry Cooper. It seems the FOS has taken a page right out of the US climate change attack group’s playbook: funnel money through foundations and third party groups to “wipe the oil” off the dollars they receive. This comes as no surprise considering the FOS has been linked to some of the most notorious oil money-backed scientists in the US, including Drs. S. Fred Singer, Sallie Baliunas, Sherwood Idso, Willie Soon, Robert C. Balling and Pat Michaels.”

One of the emails warned that, if he continued to speak out, he would not live to see further global warming. «Western governments have pumped billions of dollars into careers and institutes and they feel threatened,» said the professor.”

“Singer also sent drafts to Richard Lindzen and Lindzen communicated with Singer about them according to Singer’s sworn testimony as evidently did Balling and Ellsasser. On Feb 16 1991, Singer showed up at Revelle’s office, invited himself in and spent ~ four hours going over galley proofs he had brought with him. Revelle at the time was very ill, and 20 min of work tired him out. Singer stayed for four hours”

“Balling didn’t cherrypick Revelle’s old views, because Revelle didn’t write that Cosmos article to which Balling refers. And Balling knows that Revelle didn’t write it, because Balling himself was a participant in S. Fred Singer’s ploy to hoodwink Revelle shortly before Revelle’s death. It was a nasty, disgusting and secret business. Its purpose was to undermine Gore. It has been incredibly effective, as Singer, Michaels and Balling have successfully fed this story to a plethora of secondary bloggers who are happy to add their echo to the rant. Crandall and Singer’s chapter in the Hoover volume, published online is a mass of misinformation.”

“Balling’s message was also contained in The True State of the Planet published in 1996 by the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Described by one reviewer as “about rhetoric, not scholarship. It aims for hearts, minds and pocketbooks, not truth.”30 True State contains a chapter written by Balling. In none of these writings, nor in his public appearances, did Balling volunteer, nor did his advocates disclose, that over the previous few years he had been paid $311,000 by the oil and coal industries and Kuwait. Though not a lobbyist, Balling, like Pearlman and Finnegan, is a hired gun (ref).“

“Many of the emails reveal strenuous efforts by the mainstream climate scientists to do what outside observers would regard as censoring their critics … The head of the CRU, Professor Phil Jones, as a top expert in his field, was regularly asked to review papers and he sometimes wrote critical reviews that may have had the effect of blackballing papers criticising his work.”

“Joe Bastardi is “the chief hurricane and long-range forecaster at AccuWeather and a national bodybuilding competitor.” I can’t speak to his physical strength but he bench-presses a staggering amount of anti-science disinformation (see “Joe Bastardi can’t read a temperature anomaly map“). To switch metaphors, he has now snowed his readers with a blizzard of inane predictions. At StageCollege.com, his piece, “The Weather Year of a Lifetime,” argues he will never live to see another summer like this one. At his European blog, he says, “And for the ministers of propaganda on this matter that don’t understand how this works, you will see NEXT SUMMER has the highest amount of sea ice since the early part of last decade.” Seriously! His predictions are based on his love of the satellite temperature data, which he simply doesn’t understand. He uses Roy Spencer’s plot of the UAH data: …Yet even eyeballing this data you can see the long-term trend is upwards. And NOAA points out that both satellite data sets show about the same amount of warming as the land-based record, “which increased at a rate near 0.16°C/decade (0.29°F/decade) during the same 30-year period” — once you remove the expected stratospheric cooling from the satellite records (see NOAA discussion here).”

“De Freitas arrived and during his tenure at CR, edited 27 articles, of which 14 came from the “pals.” Not all 14 rose to the level of Soon&Baliunas (2003), but many shared curious characteristics on which I will report later. Soon and Baliunas were authors/coauthors of 3 papers through de Freitas. Pat Michaels, he of “pal review” fame”, was on *7* papers through de Freitas, oddly, about half of his total “peer reviewed” publications during that time. Following the resignations in 2003, zero more papers were accepted from any of pals by de Freitas. Via other editors, over the next few years, 3 other (relatively innocuous) papers came through other editors, involving Balling or de Freitas, but none of the others. The party was over, but recall that at same time as de Freitas was reviewing Soon&Baliunas(2003), Soon was reviewing de Freitas (2002). While referee names are properly confidential, given de Freitas’ social network, one might wonder if there were any ways to get 4 positive reports on Soon&Baliunas(2003). ”

“According to Progresse Michigan, Mackinac has received generous funding from the Charles G. Koch Foundation in support of efforts to oppose environmental protection policies.[17] The foundation gave $79,151 between 2005 and 2009. During this period of time, Mackinac and Jack McHugh released reports supporting the «No-More-Stringent» law in Michigan, which prohibited the Department of Environmental Quality from adopting any regulation more stringent than the federal government. Opposition to environmental regulation would be beneficial to Koch Industries various interests and the corporation is a known repeat offender of EPA regulations.[21] … Mackinac has also called research on anthropogenic global warming a «pseudoscience,» citing well-known climate change deniers Patrick J. Michaels and Robert C. Balling as evidence that the science behind global warming is falsified.[22] Mackinac has also advocated that Michigan lower its renewable portfolio standards (RPS) requirements to zero, citing Solyndra as an example of the unreliability of renewable energy. The Michigan RPS is 10 percent by 2015.[23] On wind power, Mackinac’s senior environmental policy analyst Russ Harding has stated, «It is a given that households will pay for wind power through higher energy bills,» and «Michigan legislators should repeal the renewable energy standard [ref] .».”
