Gore: Scientists Disagreeing with Climate Alarmism Tied to Big Oil Photo of Noel Sheppard. By Noel Sheppard | December 21, 2007 - 11:46 ET
As NewsBusters reported Thursday, over 400 scientists in 2007 "voiced significant objections to major aspects of the so-called ‘consensus' on man-made global warming."
Predictably, Nobel Laureate Al Gore dismissed this historic Senate report by stating through a representative that some of these esteemed scientists from around the world have connections to Big Oil, and, therefore, their opinions should be ignored.
Pretty amazing coming from a man that likely has made what some estimate is $100 million in the past seven years selling this canard to the public, wouldn't you agree?
As reported by the Washington Times Friday (emphasis added):
After a quick review of the report, Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider said 25 or 30 of the scientists may have received funding from Exxon Mobil Corp.
Exxon Mobil spokesman Gantt H. Walton dismissed the accusation, saying the company is concerned about climate-change issues and does not pay scientists to bash global-warming theories.
"Recycling of that kind of discredited conspiracy theory is nothing more than a distraction from the real challenge facing society and the energy industry," he said.

...and those agreeing with are tied to dumb asses.
Hey Al, how’s that Occidental stock doing?
Gore, like the bully and blowhard that he is, has now descended to kindergarten name-calling.
Gore: Ties to Standard Oil
Predictably, Nobel Laureate Al Gore and his family have mighty investments in Occidental Petroleum.
How does one “offset” $850,000-$1,000,000 worth of OP stock anyway? I wonder how much Al made when Clinton gave the Elk Hill Strategic reserves to OP?
As if. Try scientists believing in man made Gorbal Warming being tied to government jobs, grants, leftist dogma, etc.
Actually ManPigDog is tied to Occidental Petroleum
That’s funny, coming from a man that has millions in oil stock: http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=468
Ok, ok so I fabricated that quote. But it does accurately portray the typical Lib dismissal of anything they don't agree with.
Big oil? I always liked “Big Hair” better.
Need to call for a debate between Al Gore and the scientists or it means nothing but more taxes.
He ought to run for governor of the State of Delusion!
