Deeper Ties to Corporate Cash for Doubtful Climate Researcher
He has accepted more than $1.2 million in money from the fossil-fuel industry over the last decade while failing to disclose that conflict of interest in most of his scientific papers. At least 11 papers he has published since 2008 omitted such a disclosure, and in at least eight of those cases, he appears to have violated ethical guidelines of the journals that published his work.
The documents show that Dr. Soon, in correspondence with his corporate funders, described many of his scientific papers as “deliverables” that he completed in exchange for their money. He used the same term to describe testimony he prepared for Congress.
I tell you I am shocked...SHOCKED...at this discovery!

Curious if you would consider any AGW proponent who has received funds from any environmentalist organization to be similarly tainted?
Of course not, money from Soros or Steyer or the Sierra Club is pure as the driven snow.
It isn't the fault of the enlightened if they make big bucks off of green energy subsidies!
There's a difference between between an oil company paying off a guy to whitewash climate data so that the oil and coal companies can continue to pollute, get big fat government subsidies and make hundreds of billions of dollars a year, and an environmental organization with minuscule resources working to save species from extinction, prevent massive deforestation and protect human health.
The only thing oil companies are trying to protect is their bottom line. They keep telling us that the market and their shareholders demand that profit be the ONLY thing they should care about. So by definition any money they spend on climate research is to influence the science in order to increase their profits, not to reveal any scientific truths.
When people TELL you that only thing they give a damn about is the money, you tend to believe them.

Yet somehow any money an environmental organization spends is completely altruistic and not ever in any way spent in order to further their own purposes....
And the millions the Saudis just gave to the Clinton Foundation, those millions are not worthy of a mention.
