ASU prof ‘shocked’ to be target of Dems’ climate probe
ASU Prof Robert BallingAn Arizona State University scientist said he is “shocked” to be among seven researchers at the center of a probe by an Arizona congressman over funding for their climate-change research.
U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., wrote letters to seven universities last month, saying he has concerns about issues of potential conflicts of interest and failure to disclose corporate funding sources related to climate research. The issues were raised in a New York Times article.
Grijalva is seeking records on external funding going to Robert Balling Jr., a professor in ASU’s School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning. The request also seeks drafts of any testimony Balling prepared for a government body or agency and correspondence surrounding his testimony and funding dating back to 2007.
