Greenpeace Reveals Climate Skeptics for Hire by Hour

HeadlineDec 09, 2015

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.
