Topic: Merchants Of Doubt

Mark Morano addresses the common claim that climate skeptics are funded by the oil industry, calling it a "shakedown" modeled after tobacco litigation. He clarifies that while ExxonMobil has funded various groups, their grants to universities for climate study often far exceed any money given to skeptical organizations. Morano notes that many large energy companies actually support carbon taxes and the Paris Agreement because they can absorb the costs while crushing smaller competitors.
