'''The Lavoisier Group''' is a [[global warming skeptic]] organisation, based in Australia. It argues that the evidence for global warming is based on inexact science and that any policy responses, such as signing the Kyoto Protocol, would be too expensive for Australia's industry.
The group is closely associated with the Australian mining industry, and was founded in 2000 by [[Ray Evans]], then an executive at [[Western Mining Corporation]] (WMC), who was also involved in founding the [[HR Nicholls Society]] and the [[Bennelong Society]]. [[Hugh Morgan]], former WMC boss and current head of the [[Business Council of Australia]]until 2005, delivered the group's inaugural speech.
Lavoisier is a fairly small operation, with under 100 members and an annual budget of around $10,000. [http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/11/26/1101219743320.html]
