One of the favorite put-downs from people who think they have the moral high ground in the climate debate is to accuse skeptics with this phrase: “You are nothing but a shill for Big Oil”

Who amongst us hasn’t seen variants of that pointed finger repeated thousands of times? The paradigm has shifted. Now it appears CRU is the one looking for “big oil” money. See the email:

There’s more.

But wait that’s not all!
Further down in that email, look at who else they were looking to for money. Oh, this is horrible, it just can’t be, they wouldn’t. They were looking to not only BP but, but EXXON in its Esso incarnation:

Now who is the shill for Big Oil again? Next time somebody brings up that ridiculous argument about skeptics, show them this.

Well at least the kids vid ends appropriately. The last clip should be the lead clip!
Here’s showing where the big money is out. Obama handing out almost $1B right here:

Also it was Enron who promoted these sorts of things. A lot of people who are behind AGW don’t realize they’re getting in bed with Kenny Boy Lay…or for that matter all these other companies, like Shell, BP, Esso, etc as has already been pointed out. Paul Krugman worked for Enron, so is it any surprise he accuses others of being paid corporate shills as a form of projection? Krugman should own up and say how many billions/trillions of dollars are involved and what big businesses stand to gain.
The Dutch:

Netherlands Centre of Excellence (partly virtual) institute, modelled after
Tyndall. Leading parties in this effort are all well known to you:
Wageningen (kabat)
VU Amsterdam (vellinga)
RIVM (metz)
KNMI (Komen)
ICIS (Rotmans)
ECN (Bruggink)
plus another almost 50 parties.
Yesterday, in the middle of Climate Gate there was a renewed call from the Dutch to perform more climate research because the warming was accelerating and we alse were in need of further research into the thechnologies for CCS and clean energy.
I think they have spend their 100.000.000 Euro budget and want fresh money!
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to naive lefties that big oil supports fake environmental problems. The naivety is astounding.
Relevant to Big Al?

“From Meccania to Atlantis – Part 1: The March of the Body Snatchers”
“A good name already exists in literature’s archives. It is the fictional Meccania – an oppressive police tyranny regimented and controlled by the government as much as errant garbage recyclers are monitored by CCTV cameras in the UK, cartoonists are kept in check by the PC compliance pashas of Eurabia, and unruly bananas are proscribed by EC Commission Regulation No 2257/94.
The neat thing is that Gregory Owen’s Meccania, the Super-State was published in 1918. And the other neat thing is that Meccania, probably attempting to conjure a mechanized society of the future, has the name Mecca in it.”

Nobody’s mentioned it, but I assume many of you saw the Shell ad campaign on the Scientific American website along with those two wonderful apologist stories on Climategate.
It’s pretty hilarious. With a Shell ad in the right sidebar, there’s this in the copy:
“That’s not something some folks want to see, primarily those working in the fossil fuel extraction and/or burning business.
There is, in fact, a climate conspiracy. It just happens to be one launched by the fossil fuel industry to obscure the truth about climate change and delay any action.”
In case the ads have changed, I’ve got it documented here:

Good old fashioned Ice storms are back in the forecast for the North East too. The Weather Channel is so much fun to watch today.

Irony, thy name is climate gate.
I am now coining the term “Climavirus” as the underlying affliction of people who act in mild-mannered, sincere ways whilst spreading AGW propaganda. You can tell a person afflicted with Climavirus by their refusal to admit their AGW campaign went wrong. Or that ClimateGate has international impact. Or that climate change is a fabrication of a small cultist clan who hoped to bamboozle industrialized nations into paying for one-world socialism.
People in the final stages of this disease are on the lookout for those uninfected. If they find such people – they quickly assume the pose of Donald Sutherland in the photo above. Creepy is Climavirus.
NOTE: Climavirus is a fictional invention based on zero medical or scientific evidence – mostly.

It seems that there isn’t any stigma accepting Oil money if the money goes to the “right” scientists.

In this email exchange Mike Hulme is alerted by Simon J Shackley:
“looks like BP have their cheque books out! How can TC benefit from
this largesse?”
Pretty sure TC is the Tyndall Centre which Mike Hulme was the founding Director 200-2007 acccording to http://mikehulme.org/
Aaaah Carbonhagen here we come – 2 weeks of vested interests – I wonder if big oil are attending?
I am this site for several years in France without learning to read English through translations of the net …
My message is translated the same way …
I beg you to excuse me for my imperfect message.
I complained on the forums French complicity between the IPCC (IPCC English) and CEA (Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique) has long been here but no one hears me?
The CEA funds the IPCC and all agencies of climate research in France!
It is time that someone in the U.S. survey on this subject, I think the biggest fish here at CEA …
Thank you, I spent dozens of hours you read, is always with renewed pleasure that I return here.
read comments from people of integrity gives me the balm to the heart.
THANK YOU.

Made a comment on climate progress. Since they were only 3 positive replies, I’m assuming romm is deleting negative posts. Wonder how long mine stays up?
Dear Mr. Matthews,
Unfortunately Phil Jones is travelling and will probably be unable to offer a separate reply. Since your comments involve work that is his as well, I have therefore taken the liberty of copying your inquiry and this reply to several of his British colleagues. The comparisons made in our paper are well explained therein, and your statements belie the clearly-stated qualifications in our conclusions with regard to separate analyses of the Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, and globe. An objective reading of our manuscript would readily reveal that the comments you refer to are scurrilous. These comments have not been made by scientists in the peer-reviewed
literature, but rather, on a website that, according to published accounts, is run by individuals sponsored by ExxonMobile corportation, hardly an objective source of information.
Owing to pressures on my time, I will not be able to respond to any further inquiries from you. Given your extremely poor past record of reporting on climate change issues, however, will leave you with some final words. Professional journalists I am used to dealing with do not rely upon un-peer-reviewed claims off internet sites for their sources ofinformation. They rely instead on peer-reviewed scientific research, and mainstream, rather
than fringe, scientific opinion. Sincerely,
Michael E. Mann

Well, the ad is only there because we exposed the big oil conspiracy, and now they are trying to make us a part of it. You see, the same hackers that put these emails out also hacked in to our website and put that ad up. Then they hacked a bunch of fake checks into our bank account. No, really! They are trying to distract you from the truth. The truth that the Earth is warming because it suspects the oil companies too.
