Overview
In its own words "The Annapolis Center is a national, non-profit, educational organization that supports and promotes responsible energy, environmental, health, and safety decision-making. The Center achieves this goal by supporting the use of risk and cost-benefit analysis both to assist decision-makers in understanding hazards and the relative risks they may present, and to identify areas for emphasis in research and policy." [2]
This organization is Tax-exempt. Its primary exempt purpose is "Development and communication of standards to evaluate product and environmental studies and research. Education of industry public to benefit to benefit of such standards"(sic).[3]
The ExxonSecrets website has a little more "The Annapolis Center actively argues against the idea that global warming is the result of burning fossil fuels. They also advocate increased logging for better forest health and question rising mercury levels among other things. The Annapolis Center is funded primarily by the National Association of Manufacturers. The Center's founder and CEO, Richard Seibert was a former National Association of Manufacturers Vice President."[4]
