Climate Change Skeptic
Although Reiter denies the anthropogenic effects on climate change, he admits that he is "not a climatologist, nor an expert on sea level or polar ice." He still contends that he knows "from talking to many scientists in many disciplines that this consensus is a mirage." [1] Reiter also sits on the Scientific and Economic Advisory Council of the Annapolis Centre for Science-Based Public Policy. The Annapolis Centre is "a US think tank that has received $763,500 in funding from ExxonMobil and has been very active in playing down the human contribution to global warming." [2] According to a January 16, 1997 Wall Street Journal article, "the Annapolis Center was at one time largely funded by the National Association of Manufacturers, one of the largest industry associations in North America." [2] Reiter is also listed as an author for Tech Central Station daily (TCS), an organization that until very recently was owned and operated by a Republican lobby firm called DCI Group. [2]
