Bruce D. Benson

Benson was selected as CU president amid concerns among the CU faculty and community members because to his lack of academic pedigree, climate change denial, close connection to partisan politics (Benson unsuccessfully ran for Governor of Colorado as the Republican nominee in 1994), and close ties to the oil and gas industry.

Bob May of the Royal Society has criticized the Scientific Alliance for holding a forum for groups involved in climate change denial and for its links to the George C. Marshall Institute, saying that the "climate change denial lobby" had a "poisonous" influence on the media.
