“Write a paper supporting AGW => grant money, acclaim, peer approval
Write a paper critical of AGW => no grant money, derision, peer ostracism”
_______
Not true. The energy industry provides loads of money to produce “research” that refutes AGW.
LINK PLEASE
Not true at all
Let's do a quick comparison
James Hansen, the leading Global Warming activist made $180,000 a year at the GISS, plus $750,000 in speaking fees in 2012 alone and previous received separate $1 million dollar and $700,000 prizes from the Heinz Foundation and the Soros Foundation respectively. Global Warming made him a millionaire.
Fred Singer, the leading anti-Global Warming activist once earned $5000 a month from the Heartland Institute, which if he worked the entire year would be $60,000 (that’s less than some waiters in NYC) and was paid $1000 to speak at the Heartland Institute's Global Warming conference + and additional $129 for food & drink
$2,630,000 vs $61,129.
Gee so who has more reason to lie???

Utterly false!!!!!
The largest energy producers in the US provide millions to those that produce propaganda, and agitprop like yours, that support “AGW.”
They do this so that more electric vehicles will be sold, thus increasing their own market, and operating costs, exponentially.
Regulated energy producers can increase their profit by increasing operating costs, which are passed through with a mark-up to energy users. (IOW, the public)
