The Reverse British Invasion

The global warming "denial lobby" is targeting Britain, reports the Observer, and it has U.S. connections. "The UK-based Scientific Alliance, which organised the meeting of skeptics in London last month, recently published a joint report with America's George C. Marshall Institute, a think-tank which has received donations from Exxon. ... Exxon has also contributed $50,000 to the International Policy Network, headquartered in London. Key personnel at the IPN have connections with the Institute of Economic Affairs, Britain's leading conservative think-tank, as well as the Competitive Enterprise Institute in the U.S., whose global warming expert is Myron Ebell, President Bush's climate adviser."
