The Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy (PRI) supported and funded An Inconvenient Truth…or Convenient Fiction, a film attacking the science of global warming and intended as a rebuttal to former Vice-President Al Gore’s documentary. The film was produced by PRIPP Senior Fellow Steven Hayward and promoted by the Heritage Foundation.
Hayward is also an IER board member and a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Hayward and another AEI colleague were exposed two years ago for offering to pay IPCC scientists $10,000 for critiques of the IPCC findings.
The Pacific Research Institute is a member of the State Policy Network.
