Carbon pollution: the good, the bad, the ugly, and the denial | Dana Nuccitelli

The GWPF argues that carbon pollution is terrific, but climate scientists and policymakers aren't buying it

The anti-climate policy 'fact blurring' advocacy group Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) recently published a report on 'the good news' about rising carbon dioxide, written by Indur Goklany. Goklany has a background in electrical engineering and has been a US delegate to the IPCC. He has also in the past received $1,000 per month from the Heartland Institute and had two books published by the Cato Institute, among other affiliations with fossil fuel-funded think tanks.

Goklany's affiliation with and funding from these think tanks is relevant due to the nature of the GWPF report, which essentially argues that carbon pollution is the best thing since sliced bread.
