The centre was founded and is run by Craig D Idso, son of Sherwood B Idso and Sherwood's son Keith E Idso. They came from backgrounds in agriculture, and became involved in the debate over global warming through their study of plant response to elevated CO2 levels and carbon sequestration. The Center is generally critical of the position of the IPCC and is of a strongly skeptical bent - proclaiming There Has Been No Net Global Warming for the Past 70 Years. Note that their first piece of evidence for this - the lack of warming in the Satellite temperature record - is no longer (June 2004) true.
