OPINION: 'WHEN IT COMES TO CLIMATE CHANGE, FOLLOW THE MONEY'

(Wall Street Journal) -- Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens writes that citizens should employ "follow-the-money methods" when it comes to concerns regarding leading climate scientists who have worked "in tandem to block freedom of information requests" and "obscure, destroy or massage inconvenient temperature data—facts." Stephens writes: "Consider the case of Phil Jones ... the man at the heart of climategate. (B)etween 2000 and 2006, Mr. Jones was the recipient (or co-recipient) of some $19 million worth of research grants, a six fold increase over what he'd been awarded in the 1990s." More than $94 billion in government money has been spent globally this year on "green stimulus," according to one estimate.
