In 2002, at the oil money sponsored press conference of the industry front group Friends of Science, they listed Dr. Fred Seitz as one of their suggested consulting scientists โ€“ someone who could set the scientific record straight on climateย change.

Yet, in a memo, written 13 years earlier, the tobacco giant Philip Morris dismissed Seitz as โ€œquite elderly and not sufficiently rational to offerย advice.โ€

It says something about the standard of excellence FOS is willing to accept,ย no?
