Hello all you supporters of science!
To support your arguments against Global Climate Change Deniers that continue to claim that scientists have placed monetary interest above empirical data in supporting the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, allow me to direct you
to the following link that my darling husband just sent me:
http://www.motherjones.com/...
The link has a list of RW think tanks that take money from ExxonMobil...and has links to their websites.
Among the tidbits available for your debating pleasure:
Includes many RW thinktanks devoted to scientific misinformation such as:
Competitive Enterprise Institute
ExxonMobil Gave $1,380,000
The liken Global Warming to the science of an "alien invasion"
Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow
ExxonMobil gave $252,000
Website features "Some surprisingly clean facts about SUVs."
Frontiers of Freedom
ExxonMobil gave $612,000
Quote:
"To listen to eco-radicals tell the story, it is a proven scientific fact that the climate is warming and that mankind is responsible...Nothing could be farther [sic] from the truth."
And on and on until in total (2002-2003 data) ExxonMobil gave 8.675 MILLION to these think tanks, all of which are pro-status quo on oil.
Good site to bookmark. I could have used it this weekend, actually.
Happy Debating!!!
