Goklany is a regular guest poster on Watts Up With That .[3] It should also be noted that Goklany is active in rewriting the history of DDT and the measures to control malaria [4] . This may well be part of an effort to make a revision of environmental legislation of the past , to discredit environmental measures of today, as suggested by Dr Naomi Oreskes in her book Merchants of Doubt.

Dr Indur Goklany is also a member of the Academic Advisory Council of the Global Warming Policy Foundation.[5] Dr Goklany is also affiliated with the Exxon Funded thinktank the International Policy Network[6] He is also co-editor of the Electronic Journal of Sustainable Development.
