BREAKING UPDATE!
NRSP exposed โ€“ controlled by energy industry lobbyists (click here)

The new public relations group calling itself the Natural Resources Stewardship Project is a classic example of an astroturf group – a surprisingly well-funded PR team that presents itself as a grassrootsย organization.

NRSP (think: Not Really Science People) sets this out as it’s First Priority Project:
โ€œUnderstanding Climate Changeโ€ A proactive grassroots campaign to counter the Kyoto Protocol and other greenhouse gas reduction schemes while promoting sensible climate changeย policy.

Think about that for a minute. A true grassroots campaign occurs when a bunch of people who share an interest rise up spontaneously to fight for a common interest. Which of your neighbours might be inclined to rise up spontaneously to โ€œcounter the Kyoto Protocol and other greenhouse gas reduction schemesโ€? Conscientious objectors in the war on climate change don’t join astroturfย groups.
