Iain Murray
From SourceWatch
Iain Murray is a frequent commentator on global warming and "sound science" who has repeatedly peddled various forms of discredited junk science, sometimes even after being informed that what he said was false.
- Competitive Enterprise Institute, Senior Fellow in International Policy (The CIE is a think tank funded by ideological conservatives, oil, and other corporations).
- Civitas, Visiting Fellow
- Anglosphere Institute, Director and Co-founder
- Tech Central Station, columnist (Tech Central Station is an astroturf site which routinely publishes pro-business psuedoscience).
The Brussels-based and heavily pro-industry free newspaper EU Reporter regularly publishes his editorials on climate change. These articles are written as news stories and they don't specify that Murray is involved in advocacy activities for groups such as the CEI.
Tim Lambert has shown Iain Murray has continued to make incorrect statements, even after being informed that they are incorrect:
- More Risky Business: Murray claims that epidemiologists believe risk factors less than two should be ignored. An epidemiologist writes in and corrects him. Afterwards, Murray repeats his claim in another forum.
- Iain Murray, at it again: Murray speculates about a cause of global warming that is easy to test. When tested, the cause proves not to be a factor.
