‘Wanted’ posters targets Climate Criminals at Paris summit
07 DECEMBER 2015
The seven most insidious fossil fuel lobbyists in Paris to weaken attempts to agree a global climate deal have been named and shamed as ‘climate criminals’ in a dossier published by the global citizens movement Avaaz.
The lobbyists include:
· Benjamin Sporton, head of the World Coal Association
· Fiona Wild, representative of mining-giant BHP Billiton
· Marc Morano, whose trademark activity is to publish the email addresses of climate scientists to expose them to hate mail.
· Myron Ebell, director of US think tank Competitive Enterprise Institute known for receiving money from ExxonMobil
· Chris Horner, funded by the coal industry and known for “harassing” climate scientists in order to access to their email
· Bjorn Lomborg, previously backed by funders with links to the Koch brothers, he’s most known as the ‘delayer in chief’ when it comes to climate
· James Taylor, senior fellow at climate denial lobby group Heartland Institute
Examples of lobbyists’ far-reaching influence within climate meetings include The World Coal Association setting up shop next to the COP19 summit in Warsaw in 2013 to convince negotiators to embrace coal as a solution to climate change.
This resulted in the Warsaw Communiqué promoting clean coal, which has been deemed as “a myth” by National Geographic. At the COP17 in Durban in 2011, the Carbon Capture and Storage Association (comprised of major fossil fuel and power companies) successfully lobbied for carbon credits for new coal plants.
With global warming a clear scientific reality, the world has become increasingly intolerant of the fossil fuel industry’s attempts to undermine climate science and climate legislation. The campaign comes off the back of recent cases cracking down on “climate criminals,” including the investigation into Exxon for allegedly lying to the public about the risk of climate change.
The dossier is published as part of Avaaz’s 100% Clean campaign, which has been backed by more than 3.6 million people.

Hannity: “A new documentary called Climate Hustle takes aim at many of the global warming alarmists and debunks much of their so-called science…The film even goes after Lear Jet Liberal Al Gore.”
Morano: “In our film Climate Hustle, we go back to the 1970s. We have Walter Cronkite, ABC News, and Leonard Nimoy — warning of a coming ice age.”

Fox News host Neil Cavuto: “Marc has a film coming out the Climate Hustle. And it is making it big debut at the Cinéma du Panthéon in Paris on Dec. 7. Why did you choose France?”
Morano: “It will be in the middle of all the action. We are going to have a red carpet premiere, Neil.”
Cavuto: “Wow.”
Morano: “The film features scientists who used to be believers in the man-made global warming narrative and have now grown skeptical. It also features Nobel Prize-winning scientists and UN scientists. It’s going to go right at the heart of the Paris climate negotiations.”
Morano on UN’s 2C Limit: “We had one UK scientist, Philip Stott, who has said there are quite literally hundreds of factors governing global climate. For the UN to pick one politically-selected factor — CO2 — and then try to tweak it at the margins and then come up with some temperature goal 50 -100 years in the future, is akin to scientific nonsense. You could call it modern day witchcraft.”
