Union of Concerned Scientists, in reality a politically-funded anti-science group which routinely demonizes the consensus on everything but climate change by using what scientists call "insincere skepticism", is hoping to shore up its tattered reputation by criticizing the pro-science side with ad hominem attacks.
Paid environmentalist Gretchen Goldman randomly claims ACSH is "industry-funded", which simply means she has never been allowed into senior staff meetings at UCS and isn't aware of how many soft-money donations they accept from corporations and political action committees after it has been laundered through partisan foundations. They mastered that technique after hiring a Democratic staffer to run the group and use it to generate tens of millions of dollars every year in donations they don't report to the public. That mastermind, Kevin Knobloch, recently got his reward for scaring the public into voting for his handlers: he was officially hired by the Obama administration to prevent any nuclear science from happening.
