That’s wonderful. Good for them.

What does that have to with the fact that the energy industries also fund dozens of anti-AGW groups? You can’t erase that simply by saying, “Look! They’re funding renewable energy research!”

Nothing. But we are not talking about anti-AGW groups.

We were talking about scientific societies (the IOP). Your blog entry above is about the IOP and the questions they submitted in a memo to Parliament before the 03-01-2010 hearing. And so, they have a member of the IOP, who had something to do with the formation of some questions, and he has something to do with the energy industry.

When we look at other scientific organizations (such are the National Renewable Energy Lab) and find “scary big oil” involved with running the lab, do we suspect everything coming out of the research there?

No.

No more that everything on the IOP is necessarily tainted by Peter Gill.

Has anyone read the memo from the IOP to Parliament?
