1. Advancement of Sound Science Center – Wikipedia – 27/12/2009 – Wikipedia – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advancement_of_Sound_Science_Center
   “Following the revelation of links between TASSC, Milloy and the tobacco industry, largely as a result of lawsuits brought against the industry by US state governments, Milloy left the Cato Institute. Milloy maintains TASSC and a similar organisation, Citizens for the Integrity of Science based at his home in Maryland. The website for CFIS, formerly at cfis.org is no longer active … The internet site, CFIS.org Citizens for the Integrity of Science, is registered to Steven Milloy’s home address in Potomac, MD, with Milloy listed as the administrative contact. 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. [13] The IRS has announced that as of August 17, 2009 the Center no longer qualifies under Code Sec. 170(c)(2) as an organization for which deductions for charitable contributions are allowed.”

   “One of the first attacks on the report is from FoxNews.com columnist Steven Milloy, an adjunct scholar at the libertarian Cato Institute ($75,000 from ExxonMobil). Milloy operates two ExxonMobil-funded organizations—the Advancement of Sound Science Center ($40,000 from ExxonMobil) and the Free Enterprise Action Institute ($50,000 from ExxonMobil)—both of which are registered to his home address in Potomac, Maryland. In his article, titled “Polar Bear Scare on Thin Ice,” he claims that one of the graphs in the study’s 149-page overview report contradicts the study’s conclusions. Harvard biological oceanographer James McCarthy, a lead author of the report, tells Mother Jones that the conclusions are solid.”

   “The Rubber Duck Award is named in recognition of the work of Rick Smith, executive director of Canada’s Environmental Defence lobby group and one of Canada’s leading purveyors of junk science. One of his claims is that toy rubber ducks can kill, a distortion of scientific fact so great that it deserves to have an award named after it.”
4. Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber – The Usual Suspects: Industry Hacks Turn Fear on its Head – PR Watch – 01/04/2000 – http://www.prwatch.org/prwissues/2000Q3/usual.html
   “In August, the «No More Scares» campaign announced its formation at a Washington, DC press conference attacking Fenton Communications, one of the few public relations firms that represents environmental advocacy groups … EPA Watch is published by the American Policy Center (APC), headed by long-time PR pro Thomas DeWeese. APC weighs in on what can safely be called the looney fringe of the sound science movement. One issue of the APC’s newsletter, for example, attacks longtime environmentalist and author Jeremy Rifkin as «anti-industry, anti-civilization, anti-people» and accuses him of preaching «suicide, abortion, cannibalism and sodomy.»

Marshall Institute; Steven Milloy, who later becomes a FoxNews.com columnist; David Rothbard of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, which has received $252,000 from ExxonMobil; Myron Ebell of Frontiers of Freedom, also funded with money ($612,000) from the oil giant; and ExxonMobil lobbyist Randy Randol.
