Dimmock, Durward, et al, areย disrobed.
For a background on the issue, check our earlier posts here and here.
The โScientific Alliance,โ is an organization formed by a UK businessman who was fed up with โall this environmental stuff.โ
The Alliance describes itself as โa forum for addressing environmental problems based on sound science.โ Other members include Sallie Baliunas and Benny Pesier. According to a July โ01 article, the Scientific Alliance was set up by Robert Durward and a public relations firm called โForesightย Communications.โ
Originally, Durward, owner of a rock quarry in the UK, formed the Alliance out of frustration over an aggregate tax being proposed for the quarry industry. On top of fighting the tax, the Alliance also provided โexpertโ scientific advice on subjects like transport, climate change and biodiversity. Durward described himself, โas a businessman who is totally fed up with all this environmental stuffโฆ much of it unjustified, such as the climate changeย levy.โ
At the time of the Allianceโs formation, Durward refused to disclose who the financial backers of the projectย were.
