For the last decade, the oil and gas industry has been criticised, on an ongoing basis, for its participation in the international climate change negotiations and its role in undermining the 'scientific consensus' needed for progress at the UNFCCC. During the same time, political economists have used a narrow range of data to speculate that big oil plays a critical role in financing climate science research, particularly research which denies anthropogenic climate change. Now, new data confirms that big oil indeed has played a disproportionate role in the financing of science in the service of climate scepticism. The study, conducted by Carbon Brief reveals that of the 900 peer-reviewed articles that deny climate change, 9 out of 10 of the most prolific papers were published by scientists funded by Exxon Mobile. The data is available for downloading at Carbon Brief. To read more please visit: http://www.good.is/post/nine-of-out-ten-climate-denying-scientists-have-ties-to-exxon-mobil-money/
