The point, of course, is that while individual nations are paying for this research, through their EU membership payments and the greater amounts in "co-funding" top-ups, they neither define the research priorities, control the research nor own the results – despite the political implications. Equally, the research scientists involved are not responsible to their national authorities but to a supranational agency. Not only are they becoming politicised, this is happening at an international level.The End of the Beginning… | Ice Stories: Dispatches From Polar Scientists
When we did not meet with complete success it was always because of weather and ice, either encroaching sea ice or fields of icebergs so thick that we had no chance to pass.FT.com / Global Economy - E-mail leaks that clouded climate issue
Julian Morris of the International Policy Network, a UK think-tank, says sceptic bloggers have been key in challenging the consensus view. “This was largely amateur scientists investigating claims that were made by supposedly professional scientists, then having discussions about it on the internet,” he says.As the global warming movement falters, Al Gore's dying Climate Project is folded into The Alliance for Climate Protection | GORE LIED
There are also a few well funded sceptic groups, such as the US-based Heartland Institute, supported to the tune of $5.2m in 2007, the latest year for which figures are available.
These blogs have also seen a sudden surge in traffic. Marc Morano, who runs ClimateDepot.com, says: “No one believes [the mainstream scientists] as they have overreached themselves and brought in politics. It became a silly game where they were trying to scare people.”
Gore’s compliant media, in this case USA Today, had the audacity to call folding the carcass of The Climate Project into The Alliance for Climate Protection a move that would “bolster their muscle”, but any observer who has been paying attention to the goings on in the world of the global warming movement for the past several months can see that folding The Climate Project into The Alliance for Climate Protection is really evidence that Al Gore’s movement is collapsing on itself.

Fiona Harvey’s article (“E-mail leaks that clouded climate issue”) is misleading at best. She writes, “There are also a few well funded sceptic groups, such as the US-based Heartland Institute, supported to the tune of $5.2m in 2007, the latest year for which figures are available.”
That implies The Heartland Institute received $5.2 m in 2007 for its work on climate change, which is not true. Heartland addresses a wide range of issues, including budget and tax policy, education, environment issues in addition to climate change, health care, information technology, and more. Climate change is one part of a large and diversified policy portfolio.
Moreover, to say 2007 is the latest year for which Heartland’s funding figures are available is untrue. Had Ms. Harvey bothered to consider The Heartland Institute’s own Web site as a source, she’d have discovered the organization’s 2009 annual report, summarizing receipts and expenses for 2008, is readily available at http://www.heartland.org/about/.
