In July 2015 the Union of Concerned Scientists published the Climate Deception Dossiers. After years of research, whistle-blowing and Freedom of Information Requests a truly sordid picture emerges of fossil fuel corporations internally admitting that climate change is real while at the same time spending millions of dollars to buy scientists who say climate change is a hoax. These bought-off scientists and politicians make statements such as: the sun makes things warmer, not humans or CO2 - and anyway CO2 is good for you and agriculture. The Deception Dossiers report the theft of letterheads of reputable organizations such as the NAACP and the American Association of University Women. Forged letters that were mailed to members of Congress, claiming to be from non-profits that advocate for the well-being of women, minorities, children, seniors, and veterans, and urging defeat of legislations to protect the climate or undermining efforts at international climate treaties. The Deception Dossiers show how millions of dollars are still being used on advertising campaigns to spread misinformation and to fund efforts of organization such as ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council. Prominent among the Climate Deception organizations is the Heartland Institute They are openly facing off against the Inter Governmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC, by having created their own organization in 2013. It is the NON-Governmental Panel on Climate Change, the NIPCC. The Heartland's most recent salvo was an attack on Pope Francis and his appeal in the Encyclical to halt climate change. The program is interspersed with excerpts of news items from FOX and Rush Limbaugh that are being circulated via the Heartland Institute web site.
