Michael Fumento, the Hudson Institute, and Global Warming

Since some people here (okay, Frenchy) doubt global warming and offer articles by Michael Fumento in their defense, I thought I'd share with you all some information I recently learned the think tank which employs Fumento, the Hudson Institute. The Hudson Institute's financial backers include Ag Processing, American Cyanamid, Cargil, Ciba-Geigy, ConAgra, DowElanco, Du Pont, Monsanto, and the National Agricultural Chemicals Association.

With backers like those, is it any wonder that Fumento and fellow Hudson-wonk Dennis Avery publish "studies" doubting global warming and in favor of frankenfoods? As usual, all one need do is follow the money.
