===Denialist affiliations===
Carter is Chief Science Advisor to the [[International Climate Science Coalition]]<ref name=rmcbio/>, funded in part by the [[Heartland Institute]]<ref>Heartland's 2007(?) IRS Form 990, and indications of likely continued funding in later years (name of org is omitted, but region is same)</ref>, which is funded by the industries involved in producing greenhouse gases. Carter is also an advisor on a number of other right wing and denialist "think-tanks" and groups the [[Institute for Public Affairs]] (Aus), The [[Galileo Movement]] (Aus), the [[Science and Public Policy Institute]] (US), the [[International Climate Science Coalition]] (US/Canada), the [[Australian Climate Science Coalition]], the [[Global Warming Policy Foundation]] (UK) and [[Repeal the Act]] (UK).<ref name="shill"/> He was a founding advisor to the New Zealand [[Climate Science Coalition]]. Carter is a founding member of the [[Australian Environment Foundation]], a [[front group]] set up by the [[Institute of Public Affairs]].
Carter's own website claimed, as recently as 2012, that he received no funding from "special interest organisations", but this was shown to be untrue with the release of private [[Heartland Institute]] documents in February 2012, which showed Carter was funded by this one front group alone to the tune of approximately $20,000 annually. Carter brushed off the revelation with the statement that being truthful about one's funding is ""a very quaint and old fashioned practice".<ref name="shill"/>
