Funny you should mention that. Dr Timothy Ball, the author of that article, is involved with an organization in Canada called Friends of Science that are funded for the most part by oil and gas companies. In an article written about a speech he gave there was this missive:

"Few in the audience have any idea that Prof. Ball hasn't published on climate science in any peer-reviewed scientific journal in more than 14 years. They do not know that he has been paid to speak to federal MPs by a public-relations company that works for energy firms. Nor are they aware that his travel expenses are covered by a group supported by donors from the Alberta oil patch."

Now I'm no tree hugger. If I was I wouldn't ride a bike with old technology that makes it a polluter....especially since I've removed the AI system and the airbox. Like I said, it's a shame this topic has been so politicized, and that goes for both sides of the aisle.
