Oops, this was probably a tactical error on Exxon-Mobile's part.

Ten grand is like taking candy from a baby when it comes to a summary of a report that is based in stupidity of global proportions...

[beezdotcom]

Of course, considering all the millions in grant monies that will only get awarded to you if you say that you're going to do research to PROVE global warming...

[billhilly]

Oh sure. $10,000 is going to buy a lot of people with million dollar educations and tenure in Colleges and Universities. Whoever concocted this story is probably alternating between McDonells, and some technical institute.

Scientists and economists have been offered $10,000 each by a lobby group grant funded by one of the world's largest oil companies government to undermine bolster a major climate change report due to be published today.

Changed the actors a bit and there is no difference. Scientists can be 'bought'

[BenLurkin]

The eco-kook scientists get their funding from agenda driven organizations.

Exxon should have its auditors check and see how much the hard-core leftists at the Ford Foundation have paid for global warming studies.

[SampleMan]

And how many millions are they getting in grants to continue studying global warming? Would that grant money dry up if global warming didn't exist?

$10,000 is chump change.

[bboop]

Because scientists are offered money by the Global Warming crowd to do research showing THAT is happening. God forbid that the oil companies should also fund research.

[conserv8ive1]

I guess the granola munchers aren't funded?

It's Prav...I mean, The Guardian.
