I'm sure that if Trenberth finds that any of his prize dollars came from the oil industry, he'll refuse the prize. He'll also probably refuse to travel to Riyadh for the awards ceremony unless he can do so without burning any fossil fuel.

The Nobel Committee has laid no doubt about the real purpose of awarding prizes in this era. The public HAS wised up.
Every soap, there's a prize in side.
