AEI is an influential think tank in Washington. According to a July 1997 report from the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRO), titled “Moving A Public Policy Agenda: The Strategic Philanthropy of Conservative Foundations,” DeMuth commented in AEI’s 1994 annual report that AEI was “delighted to be members in good standing of the Washington Establishment, called upon many times each day for Congressional testimony, media commentary, and advice on all manner of current policy issues.” According to the NRCO report, during the 1990s, “AEI staff … actively sought to influence economic, regulatory, welfare, health, and other social policies, appearing on national media several times a day.

Stance on Climate Change
February 10, 2017
“[G]lobal warming is not a ‘hoax,’ as Mr. Trump has said. But the public and scientific debates over climate change have involved several hoaxes, one of which is the deliberate conflation of causation, degree, consequence and policy response,” DeMuth wrote in the Wall Street Journal in an article titled “The Method in Trump’s Tumult.”15Christopher DeMuth. “The Method in Trump’s Tumult,” Wall Street Journal, February 10, 2017.

“The successive IPCC climate change reports contain a wealth of valuable information, but there has been a longstanding effort to characterize them as representing more of a ‘scientific consensus’ than they probably are, and to gloss over uncertainties and disagreements within the IPCC documents themselves,” DeMuth wrote in response to an article in The Guardian.16“Climate Controversy and AEI: Facts and Fictions,” AEI, February 9, 2007.

Christopher DeMuth, writing at “Energy Crunch,” an AEI publication, declared that “The Kyoto Treaty Deserved to Die”:18“The Kyoto Treaty Deserved to Die,” The American Enterprise Online. Archived June 5, 2008. Originally published in Energy Crunch, September 2001. Archived .pdf on file at DeSmog.
“The key features of the climate change debate are large degrees of uncertainty and a long time horizon. Although it is fairly well-established that the Earth’s atmosphere has warmed somewhat (one degree Fahrenheit) during the past century, it’s not clear why this happened. The warming may have been due to human impositions (the burning of fossil fuels and other incidents of industrial growth), or to natural solar or climate variations, or to some of each. Whatever the causes, we don’t know if future warming trends will be large or small, or whether the net environmental and economic consequences (including both beneficial and harmful effects) may be large or small.”
Key Quotes

“In recent years, a strange new ideology, commonly called ‘woke progressivism,’ has swept American institutions—universities and schools, business and finance, media and culture, government and even the military. Central to this ideology are the doctrines of ‘white supremacy’ and ‘systemic racism,’ which hold that African Americans (and certain other minorities) are pitiful, helpless victims of embedded social oppression, with little or no agency of their own. Other prominent woke canons are those of sexual fluidity and transgenderism, elite superiority and fitness to rule over the common man and woman, and the need to police and sanction dissent from the new orthodoxy”, DeMuth commented in a piece titled “How I became friends with Ayaan Hirsi Ali.”19“AHA Foundation Board Chairman Chris DeMuth reflects on his friendship with Ayaan Hirsi Ali and AHA’s 15 years defending liberty for all,” ahafoundation, October 19, 2022. Archived July 26, 2024. Archive URL: https://archive.ph/5vvIr
He added:
“The march of wokeism, like the march of Islamism, is more than an intellectual movement. It has already claimed many innocent victims, from university professors to stand-up comedians. And its victims include its supposed beneficiaries. Many mayors, police officials, and public prosecutors have responded to the ‘Black Lives Matter’ and ‘Defund the Police’ movements by handcuffing police protection in many neighborhoods and effectively decriminalizing looting, shoplifting, and similar offenses. These steps, taken in the name of ‘social justice,’ have produced a surge in urban crime and killing that has disproportionately afflicted black citizens. Similarly, the aggressive promotion of sex-change surgery on unwitting children has left many girls (and boys) permanently disfigured.”

“Many have convinced themselves that today’s threat of authoritarianism comes from not the left, but from the right. We take a different view.

The following is from Christopher Demuth’s “After the Ascent” Francis Boyer Lecture, discussing “politics and government in the super-affluent society”:25Christopher DeMuth. “After the Ascent: Politics and Government in the Super-Affluent Society” (PDF), American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, Feburary 15, 2000.

“A separate problem is presented by the Kyoto Protocol, the agreement placing sharp restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions that the administration negotiated but has said it will not submit to the Senate in its current form. The administration’s efforts to begin enforcing the Protocol by regulation, and Congress’s efforts to prevent enforcement pending Senate action, have obscured a more fundamental difficulty. If the Protocol, or anything like it, were ratified, it would commit the United States to costly environmental efforts under the continuing supervision of one or more international bodies. Compliance would presumably be subject to our domestic legislative and regulatory procedures—that is, to our constitutional form—but, once again, the Executive would have the upper hand in developing policy and presenting the Congress with political faits accomplis. It is important to notice in this respect that the crafting of international agreements involves the participation of “non-governmental organizations” (“NGOs”—the international euphemism for private interest groups) on more formal, quasi-official terms than in domestic rule-making under our administrative procedure laws.”

He added, “a $10,000 fee for a research project involving the review of a large amount of dense scientific material, and the synthesis of that material into an original, footnoted and rigorous article is hardly exorbitant or unusual; many academics would call it modest,” suggesting that it is “the conventional practice of AEI–and Brookings, Harvard, and the University of Manchester–to pay individuals at other research institutions for commissioned work, and to cover their travel expenses when they come to the sponsoring institution to present their papers.”48“Climate Controversy and AEI: Facts and Fictions,” AEI, February 9, 2007.

Consensus plays an important role in science and scientific progress, but so does disputation–reasoned argument is essential to good science, and competition of ideas is essential to scientific progress.”49“Climate Controversy and AEI: Facts and Fictions,” AEI, February 9, 2007.
