Cruz nailed it when he said they have some stake in this for a government grant, contract, consulting, etc. He should also add those who a just plain politically rabid bent over to the side of progressive liberalism.
I’ve been all over their site and it names the principals in the so-called nonprofit along with some other ‘experts’ they list....but there isn’t an comprehensive list of the 117,000 members they claim to have.
One curious thing. In their beg/donate page they say [paraphrasing] “we survive on donations like yours because we don’t take money from government, etc.” Yet when you drill down to some of the staff and units, there actually is a group set up to help members and member organizations to secure grants, contracts, awards, consulting, etc.....
Give the same scientists grants to prove global warming is a hoax, and the same 97% would concur it is a hoax. Follow the money, this one is a no brainier.
