“Global warming is real,” concludes a new Berkeley Earth
Surface Temperature study directly addressing key concerns raised by climate
skeptics.
What makes the study unique is that is it is funded in part
by the Charles G. Koch Foundation, an organization with direct ties to fossil
fuel industry giant Koch Industries. The foundation contributed $16.2 million to “climate
denial front groups” from 2005-2009, according to Greenpeace. As such, the study is being viewed as a rebuke to skeptics who had hoped it would confirm their doubts about climate science - doubts shared by a number of the Republican presidential candidates.
