Shemp never fails to amuse. While Shemp accuses all the world's
representative governments of being biased, leftist funders of climate
change research, all he can come up with in rebuttal to their science
is self-interested right wing corporately funded, cherry-picked
science - and no cohesive comparable body of science to the world-wide
National Academies of Science and the IPCC.

The Hudson Institute, author of Shemp's article, gains financial
support from many of the foundations and corporations that have
bankrolled the conservative movement. The Capital Research Center, a
conservative group that seeks to rank non-profits and documents their
funding, allocates Hudson as a 7 on its ideological spectrum with 8
being "Free Market Right" and 1 "Radical Left." [...]
While many conservative think tanks eschew government funding, Hudson
happily takes government contracts. The Capital Research Centre (CRC)
database lists Hudson as having received six grants between 1996 and
2002 totalling $731,914 (unadjusted for inflation). Five of the six
grants were from the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs.
In 2002 Hudson received a grant of $173,484 from the Department of
Commerce.
The far right Hudson Institute is funded in part by the following BIG
PHARMA, BIG AGRA, and BIG OIL corporate interests. Below is a partial
list:
* American Cyanamid
* Archer Daniels Midland
* Ciba-Geigy
* ConAgra Foods
* Conrad Black
* DowElanco
* DuPont
* Eli Lilly and Company
* *EXXON MOBIL*
* Lilly Endowment
* Merck
* Monsanto
* National Agricultural Chemical Association
* PhRMA
* PriceWaterhouseCoopers
* Syngenta Crop Protection
* United Agri Products
