Truly, this is not terribly surprising.
Many of us have heard the arguments…environmentalists are sounding a false alarm about global warning. There’s nothing to be concerned about…it’s just the cyclical nature of the earth, etc. Silly greenies, making a huge fuss over nothing.
Carbonbrief.org has analyzed the authors of many of these supposedly scientific papers posted to “900 peer-reviewed papers supporting man-made global warming alarm.” They found that nine out of the ten authors who have written many of the “peer-reviewed” papers have links to organizations funded by Exxon Mobil, and the tenth author has coauthored papers with Exxon-linked contributors. These 10 authors have written 186 of the papers on the site.
It’s easy to find data that will support just about any crackpot notion. Especially if you’re paid generously.
