Scientists Were Offered Cash To Dispute Climate Study

This article comes from The Guardian and is just breaking in Great Britain:
Ian Sample, science correspondent
Friday February 2, 2007
The Guardian


"Scientists and economists have been offered $10,000 each by a lobby group funded by one of the world's largest oil companies to undermine a major climate change report due to be published today.

Letters sent by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), an ExxonMobil-funded thinktank with close links to the Bush administration, offered the payments for articles that emphasise the shortcomings of a report from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)."

The AEI is the same neocon group responsible for PNAC and for Bush's escalation plan in Iraq.

Thanks TC - can you aim me at any articles or posts anywhere on that. I am quite interested.

Sure, Dawg. AEI is http://www.aei.org/

and PNAC (Project for a New American Century) is http://www.newamericancentury.org/

Their own material is quite enough to scare the crap out of you without editorializing from me.
