The denial industry
For years, a network of fake citizens' groups and bogus
scientific bodies has been claiming that science of global
warming is inconclusive. They set back action on climate
change by a decade. But who funded them? Exxon's
involvement is well known, but not the strange role of Big
Tobacco. In the first of three extracts from his new book,
George Monbiot tells a bizarre and shocking new story

This contains an interesting discussion of Frederick Seitz,
Fred Singer, Steve Milloy, JunkScience.com, etc. After
discussing the infamous Oregon Petition, the article says:
All this is now well known to climate scientists and
environmentalists. But what I have discovered while
researching this issue is that the corporate funding of
lobby groups denying that manmade climate change is
taking place was initiated not by Exxon, or by any
other firm directly involved in the fossil fuel industry.
It was started by the tobacco company Philip Morris.
