>Interesting FYI: Ball and Exxon
http://www.nationalcenter.org/2006/05/seven-degrees-of-...

In this case, Dr. Tim Ball is attacked for giving a policy briefing to a Canadian think-tank, the Fraser Institute. That event brings out Mr. Gutstein's long knives.

First, the well-respected, 32-year-old think-tank that invited Dr. Ball, according to Mr. Gutstein, receives one percent of its funding from ExxonMobil. So, according to Gutstein's Theory (which holds that even slight connections to major U.S. corporations are inherently wholly corrupting), Dr. Ball's entire professional integrity is compromised by appearing -- after retiring from 28 years as a professor of climatology -- at a major think-tank with a one percent ExxonMobil link.

But wait, there's more evidence.

Dr. Ball also, says Mr. Gutstein, is "promoted by" The National Center for Public Policy Research (us), which, the critic says, has received $225,000 from ExxonMobil.


I want to be fair, though. Donald Gutstein of Simon Fraser University has yet more evidence.

Dr. Ball, like Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit fame (and many others), has had some op-eds published on Tech Central Station. Tech Central Station lists ExxonMobil as one of eight corporations sponsoring its site. No claim is made by Mr. Gutstein that Dr. Ball received compensation from Tech Central Station for his op-eds published there.

But Mr. Gutstein is not done. The evidence against Dr. Ball continues to mount. Mr. Gutstein says, "He's a hot topic on the Coalblog Web site, www.coal.ca/blog/?p=134, sponsored by the coal companies." Coal=evil. (Darth Vader isn't the color of coal by accident, you know.)
