According to the Washington Post, the American Legislative Exchange Council is making efforts to silence opponents for revealing their history of climate change denial.

Cease-and-desist letters were sent by ALEC to the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) and Common Cause, and it asked the two organizations to stop making false statements and to take away all false or misleading material, according to which, ALEC does not think that global warming exists. Over the past few years, LCV and Common Cause have been vocal critics of ALEC's anti-climate solutions work.

It has been revealed by the facts that ALEC backs the idea that climate change is not a major problem to be tackled urgently on the basis of a review of ALEC's model legislation, agenda, and speakers.

It has been documented by a recently launched website (in which Energy & Policy Institute is a partner), www. ALECclimatechangedenial. org that how ALEC events support a climate denial agenda. It also welcomes prominent climate deniers to their events to provide 'motivation' for legislators in an attempt to promote the ALEC agenda back in the state capitols.

ALEC leaders wrote in their letter to the League of Conservation Voters (LCV), "ALEC does not deny climate change. ALEC has recognized the fact that '[h]uman activity has and will continue to alter the atmosphere of the planet; such activity may lead to demonstrable changes in climate, including a warming of the planetary mean temperature".

In addition to just questioning the international scientific consensus, 'climate denial' includes working insistently in order to obstruct, delay, rollback, or weaken the policy solutions to the climate crisis and ALEC's track record is well known.
