The John Locke Foundation is a conservative think-tank based in North Carolina, focused on local and state issues.
JLF advocates for inaction on global warming, stating in a 2005 policy brief that "a green house gas reduction policy would have only costs and no benefits." In 2007, JLF released a policy report that publishes several climate denier myths, intended to instruct average North Carolina citizens on refuting global warming.
On JLF's "Right Angles" blog, the "ClimateGate" coverage calls for a "reconsideration of 'green' efforts" and notes that some have tried to "rescind the Oscar ex-Vice President Al Gore received for…'An Inconvenient Truth,' which has been widely discredited for numerous factual errors."
