"...funding shouldn't be an issue with them..." Don't underestimate the fervor and creative malevolence of environmental activists. There have been many discussions of their numerous attempts to silence anyone who questions global warming dogma. They have huge political clout. Should this report get much visibility I expect them to attempt to intimidate contributors and remove the Foundation's tax-exempt status. Think demagoguery. I also expect members of the mainstream press, which adhere to "advocacy journalism," to totally ignore the report despite the credentials of the authors. This report has been out for a month now. Has anyone seen it reported by the same news media that report sensational claims by researchers with a vested interest in claiming that human-produced carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming? We learned of the Fraser report just today, and only because the internet has reduced the ability of the gatekeepers to restrict access to information. Environmental activists were for many years able to prevent even judicious use of DDT in third-world countries (since it is "bad" for the environment), resulting in the death from malaria of an estimated 50 million people. To such people, even human life is less important than their dogma. Gordon Davy
