"ZERO Oil Money" Behind Singer/Avery Denier Text: Funding Came From Natural Gas

The climate change denial book of the year, Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, has attracted a fair amount of abuse (see this great layman’s review in the Daily HaroldRealClimate.Org), but one of the authors’ sons has posted a legitimate objection to the DeSmogBlog’s early response that the book was the work of paid oil industryย apologists.

In an email correspondence today, Alex Avery, a research director at the Exxon-funded Hudson Institute, said: โ€œThe book by (Alex’s father) Dennis and Fred (Singer) was done entirely on funding from Wallace Sellers, a Hudson board member. Thereโ€™s ZERO oil industry money behind it and your accusation is a desperate, factless assertion that is made because you canโ€™t make a substantive science argument to refute Dr. Singerโ€™s and Dennisโ€™ claim that the warming weโ€™ve observed over the 20th century is part of the natural climate cycles readily observed in the geologic/historicalย record.

Wallace Sellers, as it happens, is not in the OIL industry. But he IS the Chairman of Natural Gas Services, Inc., of Midland, Texas.

We standย corrected.
