<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(SLH350 @ Jun 12 2006, 09:46 PM) [snapback]270315[/snapback]</div> LOL! Who is Global Warming.org and the Cooler Heads Coalition? " It postures as an advocate of "sound science" in the development of public policy. In fact, it is an ideologically-driven, well-funded front for corporations opposed to safety and environmental regulations that affect the way they do business." Source Watch "Cooler Heads Coalition 1001 Connecticut Ave., NW, #1250 Washington, DC 20036 Phone: (202) 331-1010 The Coalition is a sub-group of the National Consumer Coalition formed "to dispel the myths of global warming by exposing flawed economic, scientific and risk analysis." Formed in 1997, the Coalition and its website were revised in April 2004. It is currently hosted and financed by Consumer Alert, member and organizer of the National Consumer Coalition. The Coalition publishes the bi-weekly "Cooler Heads Newsletter" in conjunction with the Competitve Enterprise Institute. Current members are: 60 Plus Association, The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition (junkscience.com), Alexis de Tocqueville Institution, Americans for Tax Reform, Association of Concerned Taxpayers, Atlas Economic Research Foundation, Capital Research Center, Citizens Against Government Waste, Citizens for a Sound Economy, Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow, Competitive Enterprise Institute, Consumer Alert, Defenders of Property Rights, Foundation for American Liberty, Frontiers of Freedom, Fund for a New Generation, The Heartland Institute, National Center for Policy Analysis, National Center for Public Policy Research, Political Economy Research Center, Public Interest Institute, Small Business Survival Committee, United Seniors Association, and Women for Tax Reform." Exxon Secrets "The National Consumer Coalition is a group of industry friendly organizations that oppose government regulation and support "free market" solutions to consumer issues. The group is operated by Consumer Alert." Free market solutions? I guess we know what that means. After all, look what the free market has done to raise CAFE standards in the U.S. voluntarily. Source watch "CEI opposes a range of regulatory intervention into commercial activities including bans on alcohol advertising, fuel economy mandates and proposals to mitigate to global warming. CEI supports constitutional checks over government's power over corporations." "CEI criticises health and safety regulation and argues through its Death by Regulation Project that overregulation itself can be deadly. For example, CEI argues that automotive downsizing due to federal fuel economy standards may increase road accident deaths (Do I smell..SUV?) and criticises the delayed availability of new medical therapies due to Food and Drug Administration rules. During the 1990s, the CEI published extensively against regulation of the tobacco industry.[1] Coincidentally, one of CEI's major funders at the time was Philip Morris." "ExxonMobil Corporation is a "major donor" to CEI, with over $2 million in contributions between 1998 and 2005. [6] In 2004 the company gave CEI $180,000 that was earmarked for "global climate change and global climate change outreach." CEI also gets funding from other oil companies through the American Petroleum Institute. [7] Aequus Institute, Amoco Foundation, Inc., Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, Coca-Cola Company, E.L. Craig Foundation, ExxonMobil ($405,000 during 2002) [8], CSX Corporation, Earhart Foundation, Fieldstead and Co., FMC Foundation, Ford Motor Company Fund, Gilder Foundation, Koch Family Foundations (including the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation, David H. Koch Charitable Foundation, and Claude R. Lambe Charitable Foundation), Philip M. McKenna Foundation, Inc., Curtis and Edith Munson Foundation, Philip Morris Companies, Inc., Pfizer Inc., Precision Valve Corporation, Prince Foundation, Rodney Fund, Sheldon Rose, Scaife Foundations (Carthage Foundation and Sarah Scaife Foundation), and Texaco, Inc. (Texaco Foundation). Other known CEI funders include: American Petroleum Institute, ARCO Foundation, Armstrong Foundation, Burlington Northern Railroad Co., Cigna Corporation, Detroit Farming Inc., Dow Chemical, EBCO Corp., General Motors Corporation, IBM, Jacqueline Hume Foundation, JM Foundation, Vernon K. Krieble Foundation, John William Pope Foundation, Smith Richardson Foundation, Roe Foundation and Alex C. Walker Foundation." Wikipedia BTW....The coalition is against Net Neutrality. I don't suppose the prospect of hefty profits and restricting free access to political blogs has anything to do with it.
