WE can't have scientists on the take from special interests on either side of the question, but I don't think you should be promoting the research of one (Soon) who is--nor will I promote the research of one who is.

As special interests go, there is no special interest bigger or more successful in raising billions than the claim that climate change is man-caused and an imminent disaster. The AGW crowd claimed for years, falsely, that the only people who opposed them were paid off by Exxon. Any independent view of the money flows shows that not only have most of the big Energy companies thrown in with the global warmers, but that the money invested is hugely more on the side of the AGW crowd.

I don't think Soon is corrupt. You shouldn't believe things like that just because they mention 5% of a study being funded by the API. Did Soon even know where Harvard got the money from his study?

I'm sure he's not more corrupt than EVERY pro-CAGW researcher. I'd be willing to bet that pro-CAGW researchers have gotten MUCH MORE from energy outfits like BP and Shell than skeptics have.
