scientists for hire.....
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
emphasize the shortcomings of a report from the UN's
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).


***Here is the rest (personally, I hope their dirty politics
blows up in their face)
