FACTSHEET: Steven Milloy

DETAILS

Founder and Publisher, junkscience.com
Adjunct Scholar, Cato Institute Columnist, FoxNews.com Director, Advancement of Sound Science Center/Coalition.

One of the primary purposes of his website, junkscience.com, is to "debunk" environmentalism. Milloy has started a host of short-lived "organizations" to provide financial cover for his activities. These indude Citizens for the Integrity of Science, The Advancement of Sound Science Center, NoMoreScares.com, Regulatory Impact Analysis Project, Inc, and the Environmental Policy Analysis Network. Some have been registered as non-profits with the IRS, but have one employee (Milloy) and sometimes one other board member.

Milloy was once Executive Director of the defunct Advancement of Sound Science Coalition and is still the director of the Advancement of Sound Science Center, an apparently related entity. He was also Director of the National Environmental Policy Institute. Milloy's publications include "Junk Science Judo," "Science without Sense" (Cato Institute, 1995), "Science-Based Risk Assessment: A Piece of the Superfund Puzzle" (National Environmental Policy Institute, 1995) and "Silencing Science" (Cato Institute 1999) which he co-wrote with Michael Gough. Though Milloy denies ever having been a lobbyist, Milloy shows up in federal lobbying registration data for 1997 as having expenditures on his behalf, indicating his firm, the EOP Group, believed him to be an active lobbyist. The same federal records indicate Milloy represented the American Petroleum Institute, FMC Corp, Fort Howard, International Food Additives Council, and Monsanto. Interestingly, according to these records, Milloy lobbied for Monsanto on the subject of "food safety and labeling," which is lobbyist speak for "biotech foods." (Center for Responsive Politics, Lobbyist Database) According to the Washington Representatives, Milloy was still registered as a lobbyist with the EOP Group in 1999, with the American Petroleum Institute and FMC Corp listed as clients. (1999 Washington Representatives).

"Milloy earned a B.A. in natural sciences from the Johns Hopkins University, a master of health sciences in biostatistics from the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health, a juris doctorate from the University of Baltimore, and a master of laws from the Georgetown University Law Center."

QUOTES

20 November, 2009
"Green ideologues are bursting with an impatient zeal to begin dictating with the force of law your mobility, diet, home energy usage, the size of your house, how far you can travel, and even how many children you can have."

15 April, 2004
"Renewable energy as a 'jobs' issue is another laughable example of how environmental activists want to take us backward to the future. Under the ill-fated Kyoto Protocol, the environmentalists would have had us cut back on energy use by about one-third by 2010. But economies need more energy, not less, in order to grow. And jobs tend to be produced by sustained economic growth."

8 April, 2005
"One of the early corporate capitulators on global warming, energy producer Cinergy, issued its annual report this week featuring a section entitled, “Global Warming: Connecting the Dots to Find Common Ground” — it’s disheartening evidence of how global warming hysteria has influenced corporate managers."

"Most of the conference’s other witnesses will be environmental activist groups that promote global warming alarmism, which might lead one to wonder why the activists have been invited to testify at all if the committee has already decided that greenhouse gas regulation is necessary" (re: Bipartisan Climate Conference in Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, 2006)

“Despite alarmist media reports, global warming-mania is melting. It's no wonder the alarmists are in such a hurry to close the book on the science.”

14 January, 2010
"Since Gore was last seen in public, Climategate has been followed by glacier-gate, rainforest-gate, sea-level gate, the resignation of UN climate chief Yvo de Boer, revelations of IPCC chief Rajendra Pachauri’s financial conflicts-of-interest and admissions by Climategate’s Phil Jones of no global warming since 1995 and the existence of a possibly warmer-than-now Medieval Warm Period."
