Remember that the Junk Science website is run by Steven J. Milloy. He is a
right-wing lawyer and lobbyist who is paid by the Republican Party and high
pollution corporations to create scientific evidence to combat costly EPA
and FDA regulations. The science produced by these organization are
dictated and funded by the right-wing political organizations. Milloy then
gathers scientists and evidence to support the desired scientific
conclusions.
Steven Milloy is a lawyer, a lobbyist, and a right-wing political
consultant. He is not a scientist. He is an adjunct fellow at the Cato
Institute, which is a right-wing think-tank run by members of the Republican
party in Washington, DC. He runs the "Citizens for the Integrity of
Science" from his own home, which is the "third-party" organization that
supports his site. He also runs Simusoft, Inc. out of his own home, which
charges food companies to simulate food-testing results so that they can
pass FDA regulatory requirements without the costs of actually running the
tests. He is the executive director of The Advancement of Sound Science
Coalition which is a PR and lobbying company that is paid to fight food
quality regulations. He also runs the Environmental Policy Analysis Network
which is paid to fight EPA regulations. Milloy is employed by the EOP group
as a lobbyist to fight pollution control regulations. He creating the
Information Council for the Environment which was later revealed to be a
front organisation for the coal industry lobbyists to disprove
global-warming. Milloy was involved in the ICE scandal when it was later
revealed that the organization had been paying scientists to support their
anti-global-warming theories. Another scandal involved a contest with cash
prizes for the scientists who wrote the most letters supporting their cause.
Milloy has also been caught holding up a paper that he claimed has the
signatures of hundreds of scientists who supported his cause, only to have
the list later proved to have been fake.
