Climate Science Legal Defense Fund
The Climate Science Legal Defense Fund (CSLD) in a not-for-profit organization established in 2011 to provide legal assistance to researchers and institutions engaged in climate science facing legal challenges from private entities such as think tanks and legal foundations.〔New York Times, 25, Jan. 2011, "A Legal Defense Fund for Climate Scientists," http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/25/a-legal-defense-fund-for-climate-scientists/?src=recg〕〔Climate Science Legal Defense Fund website, last visited 26 Jan. 2012, http://climatesciencedefensefund.org/〕 In 2012, CSLD formally affiliated with Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, a nonprofit providing aid and advice to government whistleblowers and scientists working on environmental issues.
In addition to providing legal services to climate scientists and researchers threatened with legal action, CSLD promotes awareness among scientists of their legal rights and responsibilities and provides information regarding legal actions taken against scientists.
CSLD claims that many legal actions against climate scientists intend to secure their silence for purely political reasons or to stifle their research. According to CSLD, litigation has intensified against climate scientists in recent years, and salaries earned by academicians and researchers are often inadequate to pay for litigation defending against "corporate-funded law firms and institutes.”〔
CSLD is funded entirely through private donations. As of January 2011, CSLD has received $25,000 in donations.
One of the organizers of CSLD is Scott A. Mandia, a physical sciences professor at Suffolk County Community College.〔
