Hats off to Alexis Stoymenoff at the Vancouver Observer for turning up evidence that the Koch Brothers have been ladling money into Canada’s own climate dissembling Fraser Institute since at leastย 2008.

It helps to answer why a so-called โ€œthinkโ€ tank – even one so ideologically hidebound as the Fraser Institute – would compromise its credibility by producing and promoting pathetic and manipulative minsinformation forย children.

Now we understand that there is a good free enterprise answer: they’re gettingย paid.
