Environmental organizations are thriving and have considerable financial resources at their disposal, with revenue coming from government grants and contracts, direct mail and Internet fundraising campaigns, foundation grants, and gifts from rich activists.<br \/>\nAccording to the latest tax filings, here\u2019s the net worth of some of the nation\u2019s largest and most prominent environmental organizations.<br \/>\n1.\tNature Conservancy\u2014Total assets: $5,636,393,924<br \/>\n2.\tThe Conservation Fund\u2014Total assets: $451,178,482<br \/>\n3.\tWorld Wildlife Fund\u2014Total assets: $426,048,663<br \/>\n4.\tTrust for Public Land\u2014Total assets: $399,026,229<br \/>\n5.\tConservation International Foundation\u2014Total assets: $370,034,224<br \/>\n6.\tNational Audubon Society\u2014Total assets: $337,695,958<br \/>\n7.\tNatural Resources Defense Council\u2014Total assets: $232,276,696<br \/>\n8.\tEnvironmental Defense Fund\u2014Total assets: $145,765,426<br \/>\n9.\tSierra Club Foundation\u2014Total assets: $107,928,024<br \/>\n10.\tNational Wildlife Federation\u2014Total assets: $69,448,048<br \/>\nthis short list of the enviro specialty NGOs compares to the feeble funding of all the NGOs that would be described as conservative, all the way to the biggest, Heritage. Conservative funding for advocacy and research is a pittance compared to what happens on the left.<br \/>\nCrony capitlists and limosine liberal but also gov and NGO sources load these lefty green entities up so outfints like Heartland, with less than 10 million in funding a year, can’t hope to compete on spending even just against these enviro NGOs, much less the whole lefty establishment that sings from the same hymnal.<br \/>\nHeartland to Cato and even Heritage don’t have the money heft, and have to be thrifty just to survive in the fight with such a well funded opposition that gets plenty of moolah from the government directly or indirectly and then they turn around and enter into collusive lawsuits. .<br \/>\n<strong>Dunn Note: <\/strong> Remember that isn’t the half of it, in addition to the free support from the media, the Enviro NGOs can count on coordinated support and propaganda from other lefty organizations, some very well heeled that don’t specialize in enviro issues but do actively and energetically support and fund enviro causes. And then there is the democrat party that considers enviro issues a sacred totem, and devotes money\/time and political capital and propaganda help to the cause.<br \/>\nWhen you see the trollers the occausionally come on this web site remember that on the bigger web sites their presence is even more influential and when the greenies want a matching T shirt parade or demonstration for some enviro issue, rent a mob from the well financed left can produce paid “volunteers” and deliver them by bus whereever and whenever.<br \/>\nDo you think the funds that flow to the lefty enviro for research and advocacy from the government are insignificant, consider how more than a billion of funds for “climate” might be leaked over into advocacy and that do make a difference. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Mann claims to be the victim of a big oil campaign.
