Ian Clark
Clark and the NRSP
Clark sits on the "scientific advisory board" of a Canadian group called the "Natural Resource Stewardship Project," (NRSP) a lobby organization that refuses to disclose its funding sources. The NRSP is led by executive director Tom Harris and Dr. Tim Ball. An October 16, 2006 CanWest Global news article on who funds the NRSP, it states that "a confidentiality agreement doesn't allow him [Tom Harris] to say whether energy companies are funding his group."
Recently, DeSmog has discovered that the NRSP is controlled by energy industry lobbyists.
