The point is they're recieving money from polluters
and paying people to go around and talk about how that's not a problem. The quote about forbes is pretty bad
“Efforts at places such as Forbes are especially important now that they have begun to allow high-profile climate scientists (such as Gleick) to post warmist science essays that counter our own. This influential audience has usually been reliably anti-climate and it is important to keep opposing voices out.”

The other side of the argument is that "clean" fuel companies will be paying the other side

pretty sure they call that 'funding' or 'sponsorship'

I'm not really sure there is that much totally unbiased science left. I mean, my money comes from the UK and Scottish government, so is claimed to be without prejudice, but they have panels to decide where to prioritise funding, and those panels often have vested interests or can be "influenced" by companies. Particluarly those paying lots and lots of tax.

no, I'm not.
it's ironic because you know that your one-trick posting is dull but you continue to do it for what you percieve to be comic effect.

It would be more hypocritical rather than ironic if you had no idea you were being a tool.
