More: Biggest US coal company funded dozens of groups questioning climate change (13. June 2016)Peabody Energy, America’s biggest coalmining company, has funded at least two dozen groups that cast doubt on manmade climate change and oppose environment regulations, analysis by the Guardian reveals.
The funding spanned trade associations, corporate lobby groups, and industry front groups as well as conservative thinktanks and was exposed in court filings last month.
The coal company also gave to political organisations, funding twice as many Republican groups as Democratic ones.
What is interesting is the scale of their climate denial funding.
Also, I note that Richard Berman of "PeTA kills animals" and Center for Consumer Freedom fame was on their pay list.
