Project” and does not list “Climate Change Environmental Outreach” at all but seems to lump that grant under “General Operating Support”. 3. CFACT, the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow– the IRS 990 lists $70,000 for “Climate Change & Energy” and $20,000 for “General Operating Support” while the Worldwide Giving Report lists $90,000 without any description. d. CEI TV Ads13 In 2005, CEI produced two TV ads proclaiming of carbon dioxide, “They call it Pollution. We call it Life.” ExxonMobil Foundation dropped CEI funding the following year. e. 1991 ICE Campaign14 This was the very first U.S. corporate climate denial campaign, started in 1991 by electric utilities and the Western Fuels Association, a coal lobby group. A key document in the library because it explicitly states the goal to “Reposition global warming as theory (not fact)”. The campaign had polling showing that vast majority of Americans believed climate change was a threat. They designed an ad campaign targeting “less educated males from large households” and “lower income women” as being pliable. Patrick Michaels and another scientist were part of this plan as spokespeople. f. 2015 Expose of Dr. Willie Soon15 Dr. Soon received over $1.2 million dollars from fossil fuel interests between 2001 and 2015. This includes $273,611 from American Petroleum Institute, $230,000 from Charles Koch Foundation, $335,106 from ExxonMobil, $409,754 from Southern Company. The key to this five year investigation was revealing the reporting that Soon was giving back to the corporations, where he was showing them peer reviewed articles he had authored as “deliverables” on their grants, while neglecting to report this financial support to the scientific journals. g. 2013 CFACT targeting Philippines, denying typhoon risk16 13 Competitive Enterprise Institute, “They call it pollution.
