The latest revelations…

The nation’s second largest producer of coal has been forced to reveal its previously secret funding of special interest groups that attack climate scientists. Help expose other companies who are funding climate denial.

ACTION ALERT
Tell Big Coal: Come Clean on Funding Climate Denial

As you know, scientists whose work has unwelcome implications for powerful vested interests—such as coal companies—have increasingly found themselves under attack. Last month, bankruptcy forced the nation’s second largest coal producer, Alpha Natural Resources, to reveal its previously secret funding of lawyers and special interest groups that attack climate scientists.

Who else is secretly funding groups that deceive the public about the risks of climate change and attack scientists? Recently uncovered coal industry emails suggest that several other major coal companies are funding these attacks.

Unfortunately, corporations are not required to disclose this type of funding. It is time for fossil fuel companies to come clean.

Tell Big Coal to accept the science on climate change and publicly disclose information about the special interest groups they fund.

Independent science benefits us all, and we all stand to lose when it is attacked. Help expose the coal industry’s role in funding attacks on science.

Take Action

Sincerely,
