Scientific Alliance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scientific Alliance is a British non-profit organization of industry-friendly experts that promote biotechnology, genetically modified food, and climate change skepticism.
The group was created in 2001 by quarryman Robert Durward, director of the British Aggregates Association, and political consultant Mark Adams of the public relations firm, Foreseight Communications. Adams is a former private secretary for parliamentary affairs and Tony Blair. Durward and Adams are also connected to The New Party, (People's Alliance) a UK political party.
Although the group's privacy policy prevents it from revealing its funders, critics like Bob May of the Royal Society have alleged that the group is linked to the U.S. oil company, ExxonMobil.
