The global warming "
denial lobby" is targeting Britain, reports the
Observer, and it has U.S. connections. "The UK-based
Scientific Alliance, which organised the meeting of skeptics in London last month, recently published a joint report with America's
George C. Marshall Institute, a think-tank which has received donations from
Exxon. ... Exxon has also contributed $50,000 to the
International Policy Network, headquartered in London. Key personnel at the IPN have connections with the
Institute of Economic Affairs, Britain's leading conservative
think-tank, as well as the
Competitive Enterprise Institute in the U.S., whose global warming expert is
Myron Ebell, President Bush's climate adviser."
