This is not a highly-recognized organization, I'm afraid. Rather, it is an advocacy organization.

They may be right, but that's far from certain. Agreement with the conclusions of an advocacy organization is not evidence of much of anything, really. It's just agreement with an advocacy organization.

The European Network of Scientists for Social and Environmental Responsibility (ENSSER) is a non-profit association registered under German law.

That's all we really know about this organization.
