This is who funds the Global Warming Policy Foundation...

From Wiki...

Because it is registered as a charity, the GWPF is not legally required to report its sources of funding,[10] and Peiser has declined to reveal its funding sources, citing privacy concerns. Peiser said GWPF does not receive funding "from people with links to energy companies or from the companies themselves."[11] The foundation has rejected freedom of information (FoI) requests to disclose its funding sources on at least four occasions. The judge ruling on the latest FoI request, Alison McKenna, said that the GWPF was not sufficiently influential to merit forcing them to disclose the source of the £50,000 that was originally provided to establish the organisation.[12]

In May 2022, OpenDemocracy reported that tax filings in the US revealed that GWPF had taken money from US 'dark money' sources, including $620,259 from the Donors Trust between 2016 and 2020. The Donors Trust has in turn received significant funding from the Koch brothers. The group also received funding from the Sarah Scaife foundation, set up by the heir to an oil and banking dynasty.[13]

But--few of us (me included) bothered to check out the source/author to determine any bias/motive (if any) we just click on the first article that confirms our bias/stance--and then go vote...:-( It takes less time to google the author than to read a false/misleading/paid-for article.

Cigarette manufactures had doctors and Ronald Regan promoting the health benefits of cigarettes in the 1950's.

I wasn't saying. I was asking. ? Is a question mark.
