Controversy surrounding Kathleen Hartnett White's environmental views
Kathleen Hartnett White, a TPPF fellow, was selected by the White House to lead the Council on Environmental Quality. Her statements disputing the existence or significance of climate change and defending fossil fuels generated controversy, and the White House later withdrew its intention to proceed with the nomination.
Criticism over fossil-fuel funding and climate advocacy
TPPF has faced criticism from public reporting and climate-policy opponents over funding linked to energy companies and its opposition to efforts intended to address climate change. Publicly identified donors or funders have included Chevron, ExxonMobil, Koch Industries, and other fossil-fuel interests.
