Oil Money Funds Climate Deniers and Attacks on Climate Scientists [1]
Submitted by Anne Landman [2] on
The multinational energy company ExxonMobil [3] has given hundreds of thousands of British pounds in grants to free-market, anti-climate change think-tanks to wage a coordinated, orchestrated campaign against climate change science, and undermine public acceptance of the idea that global warming has a man-made component. The campaign includes attacks against scientists who support the idea that climate change in man-made. Funding has gone to groups like the Atlas Economic Research Foundation [4] in the U.S., and the International Policy Network [5] in the United Kingdom, which have organized international seminars that pulled together climate change deniers from around the world.
