CLIMATE SKEPTIC REFUSES TO DISCLOSE FUNDING
Patrick J. Michaels, one of the global warming skeptics most often interviewed by news media, withdrew as an expert witness in a high-profile Vermont court case rather than disclose his funding sources, court documents show.
Moreover, Michaels told the court in July 2007, some funders gave him money on the condition that their identities remain secret and he is largely dependent for his livelihood on the money they give him.
Michaels' web publication, World Climate Report, and its skeptical predecessors have been heavily funded by coal and electric utility industries with a large financial stake in preventing regulation of greenhouse emissions. In the 1990s, he published World Climate Review without clearly disclosing in the publication itself that it was funded by the Western Fuels Association until after journalist Bud Ward brought this to light in the Environment Writer newsletter.
World Climate Report gives no indication on its Web site of who funds or publishes it. Michaels is listed as its chief editor.
Reached by phone, Michaels said the court documents largely speak for themselves.

Yes, I'm sure the court documents speak for themselves. Hmmm, Earth or gold bars? My, my, those gold bars sure do look good. It's sickening to me how the climate skeptics who lie to people do so just to line their own pockets. They choose filling their pockets over our Earth not even caring about what a false choice it is... even then over the futures of their own families. Imagine that
