From today’s DemocracyNow broadcast:
Prominent Climate Change Skeptic Received Over $1 Million From Oil, Coal Companies Greenpeace has revealed that one of the world’s most prominent scientific figures to be skeptical about climate change has admitted to being paid more than $1 million in the past decade by major U.S. oil and coal companies. The climate skeptic — Willie Soon — works as an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics. Since 2001, he has received money from ExxonMobil, the American Petroleum Insitute and Koch Industries along with Southern, one of the world’s largest coal-burning utility companies.
I tend to slam religious types, politicians and corporate execs for being corrupt. I guess scientists are people, too. I wonder if any Climate Change Deniers will be looking for money trails leading to and from the sources of their evidence against Climate Change.
