Opinion piece author, an anthropology PhD holder, has been pushing climate change denialism and attacking individual scientists via his NAS organization since 2009. He did the same thing to another scientist in 2011[1]. The publications he lists on the Federalist Society make his other agendas very clear. And yes, this is plain as day advertising and deception.

His articles on the Federalist for anyone who's interested https://thefederalist.com/author/peterwood/

The paper, along with some really basic googling, raises a big red flag over NAS's impartiality. Namely that:

* NAS was founded by a conservative

* Its president is conservative

* Its funders are conservative

* Its board is full of conservatives

* It frequently uses conservative (arguably far-right) catchphrases like "defending western civilization"

* Often pushes conservative viewpoints such as climate scepticism

* Other conservative organisations call NAS conservative

Yet despite all that NAS, or at least Peter W Wood, consistently claim they are not a conservative organisation.

This is completely absurd. Definitely an advert and no sane person should trust anything that Wood is saying here.

Are you insinuating that conservative voices should not be listened to?
