Another Inconvenient Truth. Michaels was an Exxon Pimp. He hasn't gotten the word, and is living off the residals Exxon used to spend.

Attempted betting on global warming
Like global warming skeptics Richard Lindzen and William M.
Gray, Michael's World Climate Report offered in late 1998 "to wager that the 10-year period beginning in January 1998 and extending through December 2007 will show a statistically significant downward trend in the monthly satellite record of global temperatures."[2] Climatologist James Annan,[3] who has offered multiple bets that global temperatures will increase,[4] learned of the offer in 2005 and contacted the Report to arrange a bet.[5] An editor from World Climate Report responded, reneging on the original bet offer and declining to make a new bet starting from the present.

It is also worth stating that the existence of this kind of campaign does not in and of itself imply that the arguments used by MICHAELS and co. are bunk (they mostly are, but that can be shown with reference to the literature). But it does imply that one needs to be sure of ones sources. To paraphrase John Betjeman, any quote from MICHAELS should probably be followed with 'So spake the industry's P.R.O, A man who really ought to know, For he is paid for saying so'.

Scientists offered cash to dispute climate study
Ian Sample, science correspondent

The Guardian
Scientists and economists have been offered $10,000 each by a lobby group funded by one of the world's largest oil companies to undermine a major climate change report due to be published today.
Letters sent by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), an ExxonMobil-funded thinktank with close links to the Bush administration, offered the payments for articles that emphasise the shortcomings of a report from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Lots of familiar names in this one.
