>\"\"<\/a>Ayaan Hirsi Megan’s<\/a> huidige werkgever, het neo-conservatieve<\/span> American Enterprise Institute<\/a> (AEI),<\/span> heeft pogingen ondernomen om klimaatwetenschappers en economen tegen betaling het omstreden klimaatrapport<\/a> van het Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPPC<\/a>) onderuit te laten halen.<\/p>\n

<\/span> Ze boden de betalingen, $10000 elk, aan als men artikelen zou schrijven die de bevindingen in het rapport zouden ondermijnen.

ExxonMobil betaalde de AEI meer dan $1.6 miljoen, en zo’n twintig consultants van de AEI werkten voor de Bush-administratie.<\/span> In The Guardian het volledige, engelstalige artikel:<\/span><\/p>\n

Scientists offered cash to dispute climate study<\/span><\/h1>\n

Scientists and economists have been offered $10,000 each by a lobby group funded by one of the world’s largest oil companies to undermine a major climate change report due to be published today.<\/p>\n

Letters sent by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), an ExxonMobil-funded thinktank with close links to the Bush administration, offered the payments for articles that emphasise the shortcomings of a report from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).<\/p>\n
