Van het Heartland Institute
www.heartland.org/about-us/who-we-are...Het Heartland Institute
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heartland_I...The Heartland Institute is an American conservative and libertarian public policy think tank founded in 1984
The Institute conducts work on issues including education reform, government spending, taxation, healthcare, tobacco policy, global warming, hydraulic fracturing, information technology, and free-market environmentalism
In the 1990s, the Heartland Institute worked with the tobacco company Philip Morris to attempt to discredit the health risks of secondhand smoke and to lobby against smoking bans.[3][4]:233–34[5] Since the 2000s, the Heartland Institute has been a leading promoter of climate change denial.[6][7] It rejects the scientific consensus on climate change,[8] and says that policies to fight it would be damaging to the economy.
The Institute opposes the scientific consensus on climate change,[40] claims that the amount of climate change is not catastrophic, claims that climate change might be beneficial,[41][42] and that the economic costs of trying to mitigate climate change exceed the benefits.[9] According to The New York Times, Heartland is "the primary American organization pushing climate change skepticism."[
Funding
Oil and gas companies have contributed to the Institute, including $736,500 from ExxonMobil between 1998 and 2005.[83][117] Greenpeace reported that Heartland received almost $800,000 from ExxonMobil.[
