Greenpeace Reveals Climate Skeptics for Hire by Hour 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
Greenpeace has revealed that two prominent climate skeptics made
themselves available for hire by the hour to write reports that cast
doubt on man-made climate change and the impacts of global warming.
Members of Greenpeace posed as consultants for fossil fuel companies and
asked William Happer, a professor at Princeton University, and Frank
Clemente, a retired professor from Penn State University, to write the
reports. Both professors said the reports would cost thousands of
dollars to write and discussed ways to obscure the funding source.
