Below is a link to a video recording of a really well presented set of information, including a few questions and answers. Dr Wrightstone came across as a very knowledgeable and believable man. The problem for us all is that the media does not allow a rational debate where people like him can put their case.

Exposed: Academics-for-hire agree not to disclose fossil fuel funding
08.12.2015Lawrence Carter Maeve McClenaghan
An Unearthed undercover investigation has exposed how fossil fuel companies can secretly pay academics at leading American universities to write research that sows doubt about climate science and promotes the companies’ commercial interests.
Posing as representatives of oil and coal companies, reporters from Unearthed asked academics from Princeton and Penn State to write papers promoting the benefits of CO2 and the use of coal in developing countries.
The professors agreed to write the reports and said they did not need to disclose the source of the funding.
Citing industry-funded documents – including testimony to state hearings and newspaper articles – Professor Frank Clemente of Penn State said: “In none of these cases is the sponsor identified. All my work is published as an independent scholar.”
Leading climate-sceptic academic, Professor William Happer, agreed to write a report for a Middle Eastern oil company on the benefits of CO2 and to allow the firm to keep the source of the funding secret.
