>Gavin A. Schmidt is a climatologist and climate modeler at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York. Makes him very qualified to contribute to RealClimate. I'd love it if Hansen would contribute too, but he doesn't have time (probably). You guys are obsessed with conspiracy theories on this matter. Why don't you fess up and admit that what you're suggesting is ludicrous at best. BTW, these guys contribute to RealClimate on their own time. They're not compensated in anyway. Nor is the site associated in any way with NASA/GISS.

Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy (PRIPP) - Koch Industries Climate Denial Front Group $460,000 received from Koch foundations 2005-2009 [Total Koch foundation grants 1997-2009: $1,200,000] PRIPP supported and funded *An Inconvenient Truth…or Convenient Fiction, a film attacking the science of global warming* and intended as a rebuttal to former Vice-President Al Gore's documentary. The film was produced by PRIPP Senior Fellow Steven Hayward and promoted by the Heritage Foundation. Hayward is also an IER board member and a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Hayward and another AEI colleague were exposed two years ago for offering to pay IPCC scientists $10,000 for critiques of the IPCC findings.
