Chris Field, the co-chair of an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) working group told a St. Louis paper that American money spent on the IPCC "is a very good deal for the governments and for the world."
Field, echoed the recent warming alarmist party line of communicating better. He said he and the other smart people like him need to explain the science better to those less fortunate.
And he said "the scientific community" should be more nurturing and help "people understand" both the importance of the IPCC, and "how science works."
Field may be hiding a bit of information that might help us "understand how his science" is paid for.
Field is burrowed into something at Stanford called the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI). At FSI he is working on an "FSE Project." It's not clear what FSE is, but...the project "is a thorough assessment of the climate consequences of converting landscapes from their previous uses to biofuels."
An initial review of Field's background and snout in the trough seems identical to any number of "climate scientists" (Field's scientific background is Biological Sciences. His PhD research was on Leaf Aging in a California Shrub) sucking off the National Academy of Sciences, NASA, NOAA, and other government teats.
Their use of government grant money allows them to maintain their ideological purity. Their purity allows them to criticize any critics as "shills for Big Oil," the standard warmist put-down.
Well, Dr Field has got some 'splaining to do, Ricky.
The FSE project is funded by the Global Climate Energy Program (or Project, they use both on different websites).
And where does GCEP get its money? "About Us" reveals "The Sponsors" are : ExxonMobil, General Electric, Schlumberger, and Toyota!
In fact, "The Project's sponsors will invest a total of $225 million" in this Green boondoggle. Sort of like hush money--pay off the IPCC chairs and they'll leave you alone?
While General Electric is a Global Warming shill, the other three must certainly be in the man-made global warming hall of shame.
The enviro-whackos' constant refrain when criticized is: "You are a paid tool of Big Oil."
As Field said in his interview with the St Louis paper, "I don't get any salary from the IPCC."
No, Dr. Field but you do get a salary from Big Oil!

o you know who Larry Kobayashi is?
I see you are writing a book about Kremlin mouthpieces in America.
Perhaps you should have a chapter about how the global warming denialists such as yourself are propagating the Russian line on climate change.
Time reports:
When Medvedev visited Tomsk last winter, he called the global-warming debate "some kind of tricky campaign made up by some commercial structures to promote their business projects."

Unlike Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia's tyranical persecutor of climate scientists, the Pontifical Academy of Sciences accepts the science of climate change and has created a Working Group on the Fate of Mountain Glaciers in the Anthropocene.
The Working Group is having a workshop at the Casina Pio IV on April 2-4,2011.

Cuccinelli cites an edited version of an article published in Kommersant--the Kremlin friendly business daily---that trashes climate scientists.
Kommersant is owned by Alisher Usmanov a Gazprom operative with an education and career that suggest he was KGB.
Cuccinelli doesn't like the EPA but has no problems with offiical Russian agencies.
It's Cuccinelli who is collaborating with the Kremlin, not the climate scientists.
His father is a career gas lobbyist with "European" clients.
Perhaps they are Russian gas companies--Gazprom is owned by the Russian government and is an outpost of the state security.
Cuccinelli cites the RIA Novosti version of the Kommersant article in his failed EPA suit.
Since when is a Kremlin/KGB mouthpiece science?
The Kommersant article cited Andrei Illarionov, an economist who worked for Putin and hernomyrdin/Gazprom.
Then Illarionov went to work for the Cato Institute, which is financed by KOCH.
Seems like an outpost of the state security to me.
Koch built Stalin's oil refineries.
The Kremlin-financed English-language "Russia Today" propaganda channel has the useful idiot John O'Sullivan on TV discussing climate change.

You should be in your own book on Russian disinformation because you are attacking the US government on climate change with the same lies that appear in the Russian media.
If you were really in the CIA, why don't you know that the National Intelligence Council views the IPCC 4th Assessment Report as their main source on climate change:
"Our primary source for climate science was the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report, which we augmented with other peer-reviewed analyses and contracted research. We used the UN Panel report as our baseline because this document was reviewed and coordinated on by the US government and internationally respected by the scientific community.“
---Dr. Thomas Fingar, former Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Analysis (June 25, 2008 before Congress)

Attacking Dr. Mann is pretty stupid.
He has two Ph.Ds from Yale and a Nobel Prize. You have a blog and are a laughingstock.
If you were honest, you would admit that the CIA, the Pentagon, the NIC, the National Academies, do not agree with you.
Some Russian publications and some Chinese communist officials agree with you.
Virginia's Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's defamation and persecution of the famous climate scientist Dr. Michael Mann reminds me of the Stalin-era Doctors' Plot. How shameful that, instead of upholding justice, Virginia's Attorney General persecutes our scientists by spreading lies about how greedy they are for U.S. government grants. In fact, Cuccinelli's father is a lobbyist for the gas industry, and Cuccinelli reportedly gets money from his father's company as well as from other fossil-fuel interests. In Virginia, the Attorney General's office has been kidnapped by the fossil-fuel interests. Eventually, people will realize that the despicable Attorney General Cuccinelli is a demagogue and a liar. Cuccinelli hypocritically campaigns against sex-trafficking in Northern Virginia, but I think he is a prostitute who sells his office for money.
John O'Sullivan is not telling the truth when he claims in a recent article you tweeted about that Dr. Mann's data is a secret. It has been on the Internet for over 10 years.
O'Sullivan even goes on the Kremlin channel Russia Today and trashes our scientists.
Here are links to Mann's data.

You brag about being CIA, but you don't tell people about the CIA's Center for Climate Change and National Security. You aren't on the same page as the CIA at all. You sound more like RIA Novosti, Pravda, and Russia Today. They said what you say about our scientists.
How come it wasn't anti-American when all those climate change denialists appeared on RT for years and told lies about American scientists and American government agencies?
Dr. Mann was on Russia Today. The show would have been better if they had shown how the Russian media have enabled the deniers.
Haven't you seen Monckton, John O'Sullivan, Piers Corbyn, and Pat Michaels on RT?
Maybe what has happened is that the Russian party line has changed. They do study climate change, but they also want to sell all that gas.
You don't seem very well-informed about Russia and climate change.
The deranged lunatic Kent Clizbe claims he is a former CIA officer to establish credibility, but this ignoramus constantly trashes our scientists and sounds like he should be writing for the Russian propaganda. The real CIA is concerned about climate change and gives climate scientists security clearances so they can use information from satellites. The National Intelligence Council, which is made up of 16 U.S. intelligence agencies and makes long-range predictions about America’s national security, has endorsed the United Nations IPCC Assessments that Dr. Mann contributes to:
“Our primary source for climate science was the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report, which we augmented with other peer-reviewed analyses and contracted research. We used the UN Panel report as our baseline because this document was reviewed and coordinated on by the US government and internationally respected by the scientific community.“
