  • bilby "TASSCO did as its founders at APCO suggested, and sought funding from other sources. Between 2000 and 2002 it received $30,000 from Exxon. The website it financed - www.junkscience.com - has been the main entrepot for almost every kind of climate change denial that has found its way into the mainstream press. While Fred Singer was the first to have posted the glacier figures on the web, it was junkscience.com that popularised them. It equates environmentalists with Nazis, communists and terrorists."
