Dr. Evil’s latest target is the Obama Administration’s effort to rein in air pollution.

At a moment when the ties between money and climate science are under Congress’ microscope, Richard Berman, the bald-headed founder and chief executive of the Washington-based consulting firm Berman and Company, is intent on obscuring these links. Dubbed Dr. Evil almost a decade ago for his similarity in appearance and alleged lack of a moral compass to the Austin Powers archvillain, Berman is known for masterminding public relations campaigns against animal rights, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and labor unions.

The newest revelations show Berman, a former lobbyist, deeply entrenched in a highly coordinated state-level effort to derail the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed regulations on existing coal-fired power plants. As part of this, Berman-affiliated nonprofits have recently lashed out against federally-owned lands, sportsmen and fishermen, and even green buildings in this latest chapter in Berman’s long and storied career of warlike campaigns.

“Berman’s a hired gun, he goes where the money is,” John Dunbar, Deputy Executive Editor of the Center for Public Integrity, told ThinkProgress. “Nothing he does surprises me.”
