Ahh! That figures. I know about them. . . .
Edit - no it wasn't - it was the "Competitive Enterprise Institute"
Same kind of people.
Here is a helpful website: SourceWatch "Your
guide to the names behind the news. In the "Front Groups" section, see:

QUOTE:
"The Greening Earth Society funded and
controlled by the Western Fuels Association, an
association of coal-burning utility companies
claims that greenhouse gas emissions are a good
thing because they will lead to greater plant
growth and a greener environment. It claims that
this viewpoint constitutes a
'scientifically-sound perspective on the
increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide.'"
Hey, at least they are honest about their agenda.
Give 'em credit for that. You gotta love the name, "greening earth."
As I recall, the Greening Earth Society has come
and gone, and emerged with different aliases, but
always funded by Western Fuels. QUOTE:
"According to ExxonSecrets, Greening Earth
Society and Western Fuels "are located at the
same office suite in Arlington, VA. They share
the same leader, Fred Palmer, several WFA board
members serve as the board for GES . . ."
The beauty of the Internet is that you can run but you can't hide.
