The EDF and NRDC also opposed the Washington state carbon tax.
The World Wildlife Fund, which I continue to donate to, doesn't worry about global warming. Neither does the Nature Conservancy, as far as I know.

For four decades, WWF has been part of the movement to fight this global crisis. Our vision is a world powered by renewable energy, where communities and ecosystems are resilient in the face of climate changes. We engage millions of Americans, leading businesses and government leaders to realize this future. Preparing local communities, helping ecosystems adapt to rapid change, and reducing the emissions that drive climate change are critical to a safer world for ourselves, our children and the rest of life on Earth.
I'm a big fan of WWF as well, but to say they don't worry about global warming, is, well ... maybe we shouldn't take that statement literally ...
Okay, to be more specific, they don't worry about top down enforcement of global warming prevention initiatives in the U.S. They may support bottom up solutions, like encouraging people to install rooftop solar, but their primary focus is on overseas initiatives.
