Atlas declared on their website that: “For those who believe public policy should be based on sound science, Dr. Singer offers a wealth of information, credibility and encouragement.” Even though S. Fred lied about the $10,000 he received from ExxonMobil in 1998 – the same year that Atlas got another $65,000 from the oil giant.
