Wojick, Coal and Electricity

Wojick was a "scientific advisor" for a now-defunct industry front group called the Greening Earth Society, created by the Western Fuels Association, a large US coal industry association.

In his role as a "policy analyist," Wojick's client list includes AES Corporation, one of the largest electrical generation companies, with much of that in the form of coal, and Allegheny Energy, a company that generates 95% of its power from coal.

Wojick was a columnist for the "Electricity Daily," a now-defunct electrical industry trade magazine.

Wojick and industry-funded "think tanks"

Wojick is listed as "contributing editor" to Environment & Climate News, a publication of the Heartland Institute, a US think tank at the forefront of the attack on climate change science. Heartland has received over half a million in funding from ExxonMobil, the largest oil company in the world.

Climate Debate

Wojick is the owner and operator of Climatechangedebate.org, a listserv discussing Climate Change. In this capacity, Wojick injects discussion and information highlighting climate change as a non-issue.

Wojick and the SPCC

Wojick participated in shaping the Strategic Plan for the Climate Change Program (SPCC) final report in July, 2003. In his presentation to representatives of CCSP (The Climate Change Science Program) he "made the case for uncertainty."  His report, "Uncertainties, Milestones and Issues in the CCSP," was originally available on the American Petroleum Institute's website, but has since been removed.
