Leading climate sceptic who agreed to suggestion of secret Middle East oil cash is set to speak at Ted Cruz Senate hearing today
A Greenpeace undercover investigation has exposed how fossil fuel companies
can secretly pay academics at leading American universities to write research
that sows doubt about climate science and promotes the companies’ commercial
interests.
Posing as representatives of oil and coal companies, reporters from
Greenpeace UK asked academics from Princeton and Penn State to write papers
promoting the benefits of CO2 and the use of coal in developing countries.
The Professors agreed to write the reports and said they did not need to
disclose the source of the funding.
