Friends of Science: Forgotten, but Not Dead

By Richard Littlemore
on

The Calgary-based and oil-industry-funded Friends of Science is still foundering about, denying the science of climate change and embarrassing itself by trying to overstate its connections to the University of Calgary.

The good folks at SourceWatch have done a great deal more work on this file, including documenting the efforts that the university’s External Vice-President Roman Cooney has made to distance the institution from this very unscientific organization.

There’s also a lovely new (to us, at least) website called FriendsofScience.ca (the toxic original is FriendsofScience.org).
