In the wake of the Soonami, Graham Readfearn has a "Where Are They Now?" piece that looks at the dozen operatives behind a 1998 plan by fossil fuel interests to confuse the public on climate change. It's an interesting read, even though most of the people covered declined to comment.
Meanwhile, in response to the inquiries Rep. Grijalva sent to universities housing other deniers who testified before Congress, the litigation-focused climate denial group known as the Energy & Environmental Legal Institute (EELI) has filed FOIA requests with Georgia Tech, and the Universities of Arizona, Colorado and Delaware, looking for information on researchers' funding as well as the schools' policies on conflict of interest.
Aside from Georgia Tech, these are the same Universities to which Rep.Grijalva sent letters, making this an obvious retaliation (which EELI more or less admits by crediting the congressman in the title of their press releases). At Georgia Tech, EELI targeted Marilyn Brown. At the University of Colorado the Institute chose David Noone; at Arizona it called out Jonathan “Overpack" [sic] and Malcom Huges; and John Byrne was the pick for Delaware.
One can see the quality of EELI's work by the fact that they didn't even spell Overpeck's name correctly.
