"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.

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.
