 According to Naomi Orsekes:
-:IN CASE AFTER CASE, Fred Singer, [[Fred Seitz]] and a handful of other scientists joined forces with think tanks and private corporations to challenge scientific evidence on a host of contemporary issues. In the early years much of the money from this effort came from the tobacco industry; in later years, it came from foundations, think tanks, and the fossil fuel industry. They claimed the link between smoking and cancer remained unproven. They insisted that scientists were mistaken about risks and limitationsof SDI. They argued tht acid rain was caused by volcanoes, and so was the ozone hole. They charged that the Environmental Protection Agency had rigged the science surrounding second hand smoke. Most recently - over the course of nearly two decades and against the face of mounting evidence - they dismissed the reality of global warming<ref>Naomi Orsekes & Erik M.
