Sherlock,

Now that is some impressive sleuthing.

Continuing in the NZ Herald article I read that " Dr Chris de Freitas said he had never received any research funding from petroleum companies"

Elementary, really. Since Dr de Freitas is engaging in pseudo-science, he was paid for that and not for research.

And then he really sticks his foot in it by claiming "his brother had taken no part in the publication of his article in the Bulletin."

Obviously, editors never have anything to do with what goes into their publications. Doesn't everyone know this? <guffaw>

Regarding corrupted scientists, this is also interesting:

"In 2003, Stanford University signed a $225 million, 10-year contract to study global climate change, which allows Exxon and other corporate sponsors to select which research projects will receive funding, Washburn reports."
