The DeSmogBlog has reported in the past the deep ties between the climateย change spin machine and Kyoto attack group, the Friends of Science, and Stephen Harperโs Conservative Party. These ties become even deeper when the chief architect of the Friends of Science is Dr. Barry Cooper, Calgary University Professor and long-time confidante of Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper.
Dr. Cooper is a very well-known member of the so-called โCalgary School,โ a group of U of C professors attributed with the rise of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the ruling Conservative Party of Canada.
Cooper is also Stephen Harperโs fishing buddy. With Harper and his Conservatives scrapping climate change programs and moving away from the Kyoto Accord, the Friends of Science seem to be a well-timed, well-aligned third-party endorser that can create the public doubt Harper needs. And it’s all orchestrated by one of Harper’s closestย allies.
