Union of Concerned Scientists

From Conservapedia

The Union of Concerned Scientists began as a collaboration between students and faculty members at MIT in 1969. [2] The nonprofit alliance now includes some fifty thousand scientists and citizens across the United States. The group's stated goal is to combine rigorous scientific analysis with committed citizen advocacy in order to build a cleaner environment and a safer world. The group focuses on issues such as global warming and the environmental impact of vehicles and various energy sources.

They take the liberal side on of the nuclear arms race and the environment.

It was founded by physicist Henry Kendall, who was later to win the Nobel prize in physics. Its early work focussed on challenging the safety of nuclear power plants and intervening in their licensing hearing. They were one of the most active critics of Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative.

The Center for Consumer Freedom charges that they have been deceptive. ^[1]
