Activist climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe, who served as a lead author of the federal government’s most recent National Climate Assessment, has accepted a position as chief scientist for The Nature Conservancy, a billion-dollar dark money environmental activist group. Joining The Nature Conservancy so soon after serving as a lead author for the National Climate Assessment raises ethical concerns, as The Nature Conservancy spends more than $1 million per year lobbying government – more than any other environment-focused activist group. In return, The Nature Conservancy receives approximately $100 million per year in government grants.
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a dark-money activist group that does not publicly disclose the names of its donors. To the extent the identities of some TNC donors are known, they include major oil and chemical companies. Critics of the organization have presented evidence indicating TNC’s large corporate donors receive valuable payback for their donations, including excused environmental damage and greenwashing propaganda.
