Citizens for a Sound Economy

Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE) is a conservative political group operating in the United States, led by Boyden Gray, which opposes the Kyoto Protocol.

The group produces more than 100 policy papers each year, delivering them to many congressional offices, sending out thousands of pieces of mail, and getting coverage of its viewpoints in thousands of news articles around the nation. The group's representatives have appeared on hundreds of radio and television shows and published hundreds op-ed articles arguing that "environmental conservation requires a commonsense approach that limits the scope of government," acid rain is a "so-called threat [that] is largely nonexistent," and global warming is "a verdict in search of evidence."
