[This is amusing: As the climate scam dramatically implodes, alarmist Andy Revkin is still bravely reporting on Exxon's alleged funding of climate realists] - NYTimes.com
But it turns out that Exxon money is still flowing to such efforts, just indirectly.Why Scientists Do Not Talk to Journalists
For years, unscrupulous journalists and activists have been equally desperate to ‘associate’ me with ‘Living Marxism’, or ‘Big Tobacco’, or ‘Big Oil’, or ‘Big GM’, or some right-wing pressure group. They just could not cope with the fact that, although a strong critic of ‘global warming’, I have voted Labour all my life, I am passionately anti-smoking, I have never taken a penny from ‘Big Oil’ or ‘Big GM’, and I didn’t even know what ‘Living Marxism’ was until pretty recently! I have never forgotten one particular interview I did for Sky News, when, immediately after I had finished speaking, an agitated producer phoned, desperate to find out which oil company funded my research. The disbelief, and horror, in his voice when I replied, “I have no contacts whatsoever with oil companies”, was palpable.
