An undercover Greenpeace operation has suggested that some researchers who dispute mainstream scientific conclusions on climate change are willing to conceal the sources of payment for their research, even if the money is purported to come from overseas corporations producing oil, gas and coal. one Greenpeace employees posed as representatives of energy companies and offered to pay prominent commentators to write papers that praised the benefits of coal and carbon emissions. When asked whether he agreed that there should be full disclosure of foreign and industry influence on science, Dr. Happer said, “Yes, I believe in full disclosure.” The Pennsylvania State University workers also asked that the payments not be disclosed. The commentators, a professor from Pennsylvania State University and Two from Greenpeace , agreed to the offers.
