the author ... seems to support the grant receiving members who believe they can be objective, while complaining industry representatives cannot.

This reminds me of a discussion I had with my oldest daughter who's gone full Communist. We agreed to debate whether global warming was human-caused.

She warned me she wouldn't accept any arguments from the Heartland Institute because it takes donations from the oil industry. I told her "fair enough, but I won't accept any arguments from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change because it's totally funded by the government industry."

For some reason the debate never happened.

Michel Mann, the lead author of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, had filed a, "Slap suit" against a Climate Change skeptic, Dr Bell, in Canada, with the suit heading towards final verdict in the British Columbia Supreme Court. Mann, who has refused to let anyone examine, his scientific methodology in total, has allowed, a few sections of his research work to be peer reviewed, but never the whole package, that provided confirming context to other sections. When applying to sue Dr Bell, Mann declared he would provide his entire work product, which is the foundation for the vast majority of the Environmentalist "Global Warming" fear mongering and need to begin "taxing deadly carbon dioxide" non-sense comes from. When pressed to produce his methodology, Mann went to a US Court and got a declaration, that essentially said Mann's work product was proprietary and he did not have to share it with others. Mann took his ruling back to the BC Supreme Court and claimed, that even though he had previously promised to turn over his scientific work, to initiate the law suit, he didn't have to, because he had Court ruling saying so. The Supreme Court Justice explained to Mr Mann, his ruling was certainly applicable, if he were before a American Court. However, that ruling did not apply in Canada. Because Mann had failed to meet his commitments the BC Supreme Court now presumes his original filing is false and that it is a deceptive filing. The "Global Warming" movement is being exposed as the Fraud it is. Nothing more that a New World Order wealth redistribution scheme. Hey Donald, We can use the money, we won't be spending on "Global Warming", to build a great big beautiful Wall. Just a thought.
