Willie soon. A prefect example of capitalism. They paid he wrote. He made money but didn’t disclose.

Does that apply to government employees working on global warming.

As is well known from Karl Popper the motives of researchers are irrelevant. What matters is the quality of critical discussion of what they had to say.
You should read Paul Johnson’s book’s Intellectuals that showed that the great minds of the age of enlightenment were appalling people obsessed with making money. Karl Marx was the worst of all

Err Jim, They are employees. They do not get backhanders to write something.
Let me make it clear I would have no problem if he disclosed his sponsors however he did not.

Wouldn’t that depend on his employment agreement? I have some vague memory of university academics doing consulting work. Even accepting money to do consultancies on global warming.
Tens of thousands of public servants jobs depend upon the global warming

Jim.
Soon never disclosed this in any of his work. He wasn’t a consultant. Consultants are paid as such. You know they are consultants.
