 Desmogblog have been writing about this for quite a while, but seem heartened by the guardians articles  http://www.desmogblog.com/2013/02/14/startling-graph-shows-donors-trust-new-dark-money-climate-denial-funding

All funding has to come from somewhere. I would rather hear both sides of a debate than be a Climate Change Nazi.

I would rather the money come from people who truly believe that the science is wrong , than people trying to protect their vast fortunes accumilated by industries that pollute.

Its akin to cigarette makers 'looking after their customers'.

There is a difference between an honest debate and using money to discredit and then 'redefine what is cliamate change'.

Liao also proposes genetically engineering future humans to be smaller in stature, to make them more energy-efficient. Another wild idea recommends genetically engineering superhumans with cat eyes, so that less lighting is needed to see at night. That's right: cat eyes!

I guess this is where the government should be spending it's climate change research money.
