GREAT PIECE ALERT. Check out this terrific Guardian scoop on AEI offering scientists $10,000 to produce studies refuting the UN global warming report. AEI has received, the article also notes (while not specifying a time period), $1.6 million from Exxon-Mobil. This, on the same day the Times reports that Exxon reported record profits again -- $39.5 billion-with-a-b in 2006.
