The American Enterprise Institute has offered scientists and economists $10,000 each to write critical reviews of a report issued today by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, according to an article in The Guardian, a British newspaper. The institute, a right-leaning think tank that has received more than $1.6-million from Exxon Mobil, wrote letters to scientists asking for essays that “thoughtfully explore the limitations of climate model outputs,” The Guardian reported. The climate-change panel, which represents more than 1,000 scientists, issued this morning its strongest indictment yet of humanity’s role in global warming, calling the evidence “unequivocal.”
