British science group: Exxon funds propaganda.

This is not a surprise.
A British scientific group, the Royal Society, contends that Exxon Mobil is spreading “inaccurate and misleading” information about climate change and is financing groups that misinform the public on the issue.

The Royal Society, a 1,400-member organization that dates back to the 1600’s and has counted Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein as members, asked Exxon Mobil in a letter this month to stop financing these groups and to change its public reports to reflect more accurately the opinions of scientists on the issue.
How does this relate to Putz? Last month he linked approvingly to one of these Exxon Mobil funded anti-warming quacks (who is also a supporter of intelligent design) as he declared himself "agnostic" on the subject.

We don't expect Putz to issue a correction. But now that he's been caught linking to discredited scientists, coupled with his extensive posts on the subject, it's fair to say that he's not the agnostic he claims to be.
