Harvard-SAO climate denier astrophysicist was paid by Big Oil for a decade

[Alex Brown]

The published work of Harvard-Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory astrophysicist Willie Soon (http://heartland.org/willie-soon), a prominent climate change denier who testified before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works in 2003, was supported entirely by oil industry funds for much of the past decade, according to documents acquired by Greenpeace under the Freedom of Information Act.  Soon failed to disclose conflicts of interest in at least 11 papers since 2008, violating ethical guidelines of journals in at least 8 cases.
