The work I do here important, and I’ve always hoped that someday, if I worked hard enough, and produced enough clever articles and research, that I’d finally get invited into the exclusive club of climate cash that supposedly the rest of the skeptics are getting. I’ve felt left out, and I thought perhaps because my blog has a funny name that has nothing to do with climate was the reason I never got invited.
Well those days are over. My ship has just come in, and I’m now flush with the promise of cash from the biggest oil company in the world. Yes, that one, Exxon-Mobil.
I’m was so relieved when the notice came in email today.
I’m going to buy a new Tesla roadster, and get “WUWT” license plates to annoy my liberal friends. Then I’m going to buy Kenji a diamond studded dog collar and a barrel of those pupperoni snacks he likes so much, then take the wife and kids on a world wide tour.
Life is good thanks to Exxon-Mobil.

I KNEW IT!
Big money from Big Oil!
speaking of slick….
You should respond and for occupation put “FBI Special Agent.” You may afterwards get on Khalid’s Do Not Call List
Let me know if you need a caddie:)
A Tesla?! Why not a Humvee?! 😉
All you have to do is give them your bank account number and they’ll send a wire transfer right away. Would Khalid Bin Hassan lie to you? Has he ever lied to you before?
Not as much as Hanson and Watson received – but still it is a start. Khalid bin Hassan seems like a nice chap, a bit terse, but a good communicator.
Congratz!!!!
Congrats, Anthony. No one more deserving.
And the coolest part is they didn’t even ask you to do anything for it. You can probably get beachfront property on Tuvalu for a song, kick back, and spend your golden years in pina coladas.
The rest of us will muddle along.
..DUMMIES….they forgot to ask for your bank account/credit card #s so they could deposit said cash.
Give them the #s anyway.
So I always wondered just what the hell the “Ship of the Desert” was. So now we know what it looks like.
Anthony,
Sounds scripted from an Horatio Alger book. The good guy underdog perseveres and achieves his goal.

I’ve started getting a new sort of come-on. The person claims to be a rich arab who converted to Christianity, and is now old and dieing of (chose one of four) and does not want his/her money to fall in the hands of heathen reletives back in Kuwait. Oddly, they always seem to be living in West Africa, usually Ghana, and never the middle east.
Chuckle; hit delete.
well my name has been selected in the past as winner of eXXXXXXXXXX$$$$$$$$$$$ellent dosh but unfortunately there was always that little issue of the fine print….
Speaking of annoying people with your Tesla. As a Tesla owner in Boulder Colorado I have a bumper sticker on it that says” Environmentalists took money from the poor to pay me to buy this car”
I am amazed at the violent reaction I get from all those Boulder peace loving non violent progressives to this message.
REPLY: If you send a photo of that, I’ll make it a Friday Funny (and I’ll be sure to blank out the license plate) – Anthony
Your superb website is an important corrective to the neoapocalyptic nonsense spouted by the end-is-nigh brigade. I sincerely hope that some rich benefactor will supply you with a shedload of money. Keep up the good work, Anthony.

I recommend the Maldives. Not only are they dead-certain drowning, which destroys property values, they are also building a bunch of new airports, so you will have unfettered access to airflights to your tropical paradise retreat.
I’d be suspicious, as the email is not from Nigeria. But seriously, as others have commented here, Big Oil seems happy give lip-service to the carbon tyrants. It helps to restrict new competition in refining, and has always been a cheap way to get political capital.
I always use the address 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, DC
You lucky Dog!!! (Kenji I mean)
Turns out I’m lucky too! I just found out I have a deceased uncle in Nigeria, and it turns out he was LOADED, man! There’s a chap over there that’s going to help me with it. Yaaaay!!!
Hum two stories in a row with a common thread. Is this a conspiracy?
Anthony, many congratulations on your good fortune. As part of your family world tour, might I suggest that you avoid the UK as apparently the dastardly ‘global warming’ is going to cause an Ice Age here…
Wow!! That is wonderful. For some strange reason this reminds me of when I won the Irish Lottery, even though I never entered it. To think that if I had only sent that guy my bank account number I would be rich now, or maybe it is more like the time that poor guy in a foreign jail needed my to wire him $500 so he could get his $1 million out of the country and once I did that he would give me $1/2 million.
The son of a deceased Nigerian Government official pays a lot more for helping him get his dad’s embezzled oil money 9 figure bank account out of Africa.
This rip-off is small potatoes.
When my ship came in, I was at the airport.
