I know multi-nationals spend millions of dollars to lobby congress all the time, but this is a little too direct even for me:
http://money.cnn.com/2007/02/02/news/companies/exxon_science/index.htm?cnn=yes The short version: A think tank who is funded by Exxon is offering $10,000 to any scientist willing to debunk, or "explore the limitations of climate model forecasting", the report released by the UN that provided a heavy link between global warming and industry.
I'm surprised the Republicans never got around to forming a committee with the same set of goals while in control of congress.
