Climate Change Research Group to Receive Big Oil Funding 
---------------------------------------------------------



A major U.S. climate study group has announced it will begin accepting
money from big oil companies and other large corporations after losing
most of its funding. The Center for Climate and Energy Solutions was
formerly known as the Pew Center on Global Climate Change until The Pew
Charitable Trusts withdrew its financing for 80 percent of the group's
$4.4 million budget. The new Center will be funded by companies
including Shell, General Electric, Duke Energy, Bank of America and
others.
