Subject: [350 SV Chat] Drexel study on Funders behing Climate Change Denial effort
  


You may have seen some of the news coverage last week about a recently released study documenting the ties between the efforts to deny climate change and their big money benefactors.  So called “Dark Money” is now harder than ever to trace, but this study’s research reveals new insights to demonstrate that it is a well-orchestrated campaign to discredit scientific evidence through concealed funding channels.
 
If you want to do a deeper dive into this peer reviewed research, check out the story at this link:

NOT JUST THE KOCH BROTHERS: NEW DREXEL STUDY REVEALS FUNDERS BEHIND THE CLIMATE CHANGE DENIAL EFFORT
PHILADELPHIA, December 20, 2013

Robert Brulle, PhD, is a professor of sociology and environmental science at Drexel University
 
 
A new study conducted by Drexel University environmental sociologist Robert J. Brulle, PhD, exposes the organizational underpinnings and funding behind the powerful climate change countermovement. This study marks the first peer-reviewed, comprehensive analysis ever conducted of the sources of funding that maintain the denial effort.
Through an analysis of the financial structure of the organizations that constitute the core of the countermovement and their sources of monetary support, Brulle found that, while the largest and most consistent funders behind the countermovement are a number of well-known conservative foundations, the majority of donations are “dark money,” or concealed funding.
