[LINK] Scientists offered cash to dispute climate study

[Craig Sanders]

if global warming isn't happening and isn't caused by human use of fossil
fuels, then why is so much money and effort being spent by the fossil fuel
industry (and their servants in various governments) to dispute it?

     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 emphasise
     the shortcomings of a report from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel
     on Climate Change (IPCC).
