- International Climate Science Coalition
The International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC) is an organization which espouses global warming skepticism. According to its web site, it is "an international association of scientists, economists and energy and policy experts working to promote better public understanding of climate change science and policy worldwide. ICSC is committed to providing a highly credible alternative to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) thereby fostering a rational, open discussion about climate issues."

peech at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change
At the "2008 International Conference on Climate Change" hosted by the Heartland Institute, ICSC Executive Director Tom Harris gave a speech in which he discussed what he called "information sharing" and "coordinated local activism": [http://www.heartland.org/bin/media/newyork08/audio/Monday/harris.mp3]
: [...] We need regular high-impact media coverage of the findings of leading scientists — not just one or two publications, but we need to have hundreds all over the world. We need to have a high degree of information sharing and cooperation between groups, so that when Vincent Gray for example has an article published in New Zealand, we can take the same piece and we can (say) submit it to newspapers all over North America and Europe.
:Then we have a nicely well-coordinated response, where letters to the editor and phone calls are made. "Congratulations on publishing that article!" You know, it's interesting because I've had many of my articles opposed so strongly, by environmentalists through phone calls and letters to the editor, that they just simply dry up, they just won't publish us again. So this does have feedback, I mean, these are people that run these newspapers, and they're scared, and impressed, and encouraged, depending on the feedback they get.
:We have to have grassroots organizations doing exactly that kind of thing: coordinated local activism.
