Since we agree on the actions that all of us should take on alternative energy and pollution, I suppose I should stop here. However, you seem to love debate, and you gave me so many rich sources to prove my point that Climate Change is only disputed by paid spokesmen for the Oil Industry. Also, I'm hoping that as more realize that the Climate Crisis is real that they will be more motivated to take action.

Thank you for mentioning Sen. Inhofe first. Most of us already realize that many Congressmen are little more than "paid spokesmen" for the Oil and other Corporate Lobbies, and one of the most important actions we can take is to remove these people from office and replace them with legislators who will represent the People, and not big corporation Lobbies.

As for the rest of your list, most of the information I supply below comes from Sourcewatch.org and Exxonsecrets.org:

S. Fred Singer acknowledged during a 1994 appearance on the television program Nightline that he had received funding from Exxon, Shell, Unocal and ARCO. Singer's

National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) In 2002 ExxonMobil donated $30,000 for "educational activities" and a further $15,000 for general support. In 2003 the company boosted its general operating support to $25,000 with another $30,000 for 'global climate change/EnviroTruth website

Frank Wentz and Matthias Schabel claimed that global warming was real, The Nature journal article that you refer to claimed that satellite data showing a cooling trend was faulty. The article was published in 1998 and there has been a great deal of data released since then that support a temperature increase.

William H. Gray is on the board of directors of ACCF. ACCF has a conservative perspective of economic policy and favors policies that favor big business. The ACCF also includes many members of the American Petroleum Institute.

Willie Soon - his climate studies were partially funded by the American Petroleum Institute. He and Sallie Baliunas who you also mentioned are both employed by the George C. Marshall Institute. The George C. Marshall Institute has received $630,000 from ExxonMobil since 1998.

Speaking of the GMI, the last name on your list was Frederick Seitz who happens to be Chairman Emeritus of the Marshall Institute. Mr. Seitz also applied to work for the RJ Reynolds Tobacco company in 1978 and oversaw $45 million from them to fund research to disprove the harmful effects of smoking, So, according to him both the harmful effects of smoking and Global Warming are "junk science".

So, again I thank you for supplying a list of some of the "paid spokesmen" I spoke of.
