Environmentalists who oppose global warming also oppose any kind of realistic alternative, according to the Atlas Foundation for Economic Research. The foundation’s thinking becomes clearer when one sees who their hero is! Atlas declared on their website that:ย โ€œFor those who believe public policy should be based on sound science, Dr. Singer offers a wealth of information, credibility and encouragement.โ€ Even though S. Fred lied about the $10,000 he received from ExxonMobil in 1998 โ€“ the same year that Atlas got another $65,000 from the oil giant.
