As a reporter for a journal serving environmental scientists, Paul Thacker spent most of his time reviewing new research and writing policy analyses. But when he came across junkscience.com, a Web site that challenges scientific findings on hotbed issues such as global warming, he decided to look into the site's origins. Thacker started checking into other "grassroots" organizations promoting views shared by industry and found a web of hidden ties.
