Encyclopedia
The European Academy for Environmental Affairs (also known as: European Academy of Environmental Affairs, is a private organization which gave its label for the Leipzig Declaration on Global Climate Change, a SEPP-initiated document in which some scientists argue against global warming
theories.
In 1993 this Academy held a conference in Mannheim
under the title "Globale Erwärmung - Tatsache oder Behauptung?" (Global warming—fact or fiction?). http://www.iwoe.de/Klimakatastrophe/darst4.html
On http://www.iwoe.de/EuropAkademie.html there is a list of textbooks on ecology
issued by the Academy.
Founder and president of the Academy was the late Prof. Dr. Dr. hc. Helmut Metzner
(1925-1999), who was professor for chemical plant physiology

An article by Metzner about his view on climate change can be found on the right-wing website konservativ.de http://www.konservativ.de/epoche/135/epo_135j.htm. He was accused of having strong connections to the Studienzentrum Weikersheim
, a right-wing think-tank in Baden-Württemberg

The Academy is recognized in a consultative function http://www.ngo.coe.int/English%20Site/Consultative_status/consultative_status.htm by the Council of Europe
