Controversy
The Western Fuels Association has played a controversial role in the debate over global warming. Their 2005 Annual report [http://www.westernfuels.org/about/2005_WFA_AR.pdf] refers only to 'environmental and regulatory uncertainty', but they have been more outspoken in past annual reports. They have established groups such as the Greening Earth Society which promote various forms of climate change skepticism and have funded individual skeptics, such as Patrick Michaels [http://dieoff.org/page82.htm] , Craig D. Idso and Sherwood Idso. Groups established by industry bodies like the Western Fuels Association have been criticized as Astroturf organizations, since they appear superficially to be grassroots initiatives.
