Climategate: Follow the Money

[Turner]

Excerpt:
"Last year, ExxonMobil donated $7 million to a grab-bag of public
policy institutes, including the Aspen Institute, the Asia Society and
Transparency International. It also gave a combined $125,000 to the
Heritage Institute and the National Center for Policy Analysis, two
conservative think tanks that have offered dissenting views on what
until recently was called—without irony—the climate change
"consensus."

To read some of the press accounts of these gifts—amounting to about
0.00027% of Exxon's 2008 profits of $45 billion—you might think you'd
hit upon the scandal of the age. But thanks to what now goes by the
name of climategate, it turns out the real scandal lies elsewhere."

Climategate: Follow the Money \
Article goes on to claim that climate researchers goosed data because
it got them bigger grants.
