Case Study: Dr. Willie Soon, a Career Fueled by Big Oil and Coal – Greenpeace USA, 2011 – http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/en/campaigns/global-warming-and-energy/polluterwatch/koch-industries/CASE-STUDY-Dr-Willie-Soon-a-Career-Fueled-by-Big-Oil-and-Coal/
“Willie Soon lists himself as being on the advisory board of the National Center for Public Policy Research, an affiliate of Frontiers of Freedom, from April 2003. Although Dr. Soon was not listed on the centre’s website, in the Wall Street Journal article «Eat More Fish,» which he co-authored with Robert Ferguson of the Frontiers of Freedom Center for Science and Public Policy, he is listed as the center’s «Chief Science Researcher.».”
Richard Littlemore – Prospective donors listed by gifts from 2011 – The Heartland Institute – 15/01/2012 – http://www.heatland.org/TheList2011.xhtml
“Given that donations to Heartland count as «charitable» deductions, it would be interesting to know if anyone is claiming a second deduction on Heartland’s follow-on «donation» to Idso’s CSCDGC. For that matter, is there a third potential deduction when Idso passes the money along to Robert Ferguson at the Science and Public Policy Institute – another policy hothouse whose «educational» output appears to be exclusively PR that aligns closely to the interests of Heartland‘s major funders.”

“He was helped by Craig Idso, of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change (CDCDGC), whose money flows also seem unusual. Robert Ferguson’s Science and Public Policy Institute (SPPIN) was a website and a PO Box in a UPS store and he was actually a CSCDGC employee.”
Richard Littlemore – Mashey Report Confirms Heartland’s Manipulation; Exposes Singer’s Deception – Desmogblog, 15/02/2012 – http://www.desmogblog.com/mashey-report-confirms-heartland-s-manipulation-exposes-singer-s-deception
“Mashey’s report, on its own, made a devastating case that Heartland and several other purported «think tanks» are taking an unfair subsidy from the American taxpayer, while lobbying for some of the world’s most profitable industries. Mashey also demonstrates that Heartland, Singer’s SEPP, Craig Idso‘s Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change and its subsidiary front group, Robert Ferguson‘s Science and Public Policy Institute, are not primarily research institutions, but rather advocacy organizations. As «think tanks» they sponsor very little «thinking» (in the form of scientific or even social research) and instead serve as weapons in a communications war against policy on issues such as climate change.”
Robert Ferguson (Science and Public Policy Institute) – Sourcewatch, 24/09/2013 – http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Bob_Ferguson
“Robert E. Ferguson, aka Bob Ferguson, is the President of the Science and Public Policy Institute (SPPI), an organization that promotes the views of global warming skeptics and was founded in mid-2007. However, his salary appears to come through the Idsos’ Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change.”
Graham Readfearn – Bankrupt Coal Miner Peabody Energy Paid Climate Denialist Craig Idso To Write Greenhouse Gas Reports – Desmog, 06/07/2016 – http://www.desmogblog.com/2016/07/06/bankrupt-coal-miner-peabody-energy-paid-climate-denialist-crag-idso-write-greenhouse-gas-reports
“CSCDGC is registered with the IRS as a not-for-profit organisation where funders can claim tax breaks on their donations. But IRS documents show the CSCDGC’s highest paid individual is Robert Ferguson, who was paid $170,000 through the center, according to the latest filings. Ferguson is the president of the Science and Public Policy Institute, which has co-published several reports with Idso’s group. Idso earns $130,000 a year from his center and his wife is paid $120,000 as the center’s secretary. The center declared $670,000 of income in 2014. But the center’s website does not identify Ferguson as working for the center. Neither do the IRS filings identify SPPI as a project, but do indicate Ferguson as the highest paid employee. SPPI’s website has no information about how it is incorporated. Questions to Ferguson, a former Republican staffer, went unanswered. Researcher and DeSmog contributor John Mashey has described SPPI as a front for Idso’s center. In 2014, CSCDGC received a $10,000 grant from the conservative Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation. According to that foundation’s tax filing, the grant to CSCDGC was to “support the Science & Public Policy Institute”. ”
