23. There's also a heavy climate change denial aspect

Greenpeace mentioned them last year in their survey of the Koch brothers and climate change denial.

American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)

$75,000 received from Koch foundations 2005–2008

ALEC is one-stop shopping for elected officials interested in perusing the wares of an array of Koch-funded opposition organizations including IER, ACCF, Mercatus and other sources. ALEC publishes its own materials as well, including a “Climate Change Overview for State Legislators” which downplays the science and risks of global warming and exaggerates the costs of addressing it. The Overview was written by Daniel Simmons, who moved from ALEC to become AEA’s Director of State Affairs. Simmons was at the Mercatus Institute before ALEC and is a graduate of the George Mason University School of Law.
