Koch Industries has given its answer to three liberal Democrats requesting 10 years worth of detailed information by April 3 about its support for scientific research. In a March 5 letter, Koch’s general council told the senators they will provide nothing.
According to the National Journal, the three senators, Ed Markey, Barbara Boxer, and Sheldon Whitehouse, sent the letter to roughly 100 companies, lobbying groups, and conservative organizations in their attempts to find ties between fossil-fuel companies and research that casts doubt on man-made global warming.
This came on the heels of news that a climate researcher, astrophysicist Wei-Hock (Willie) Soon, received money from fossil fuel companies as did his affiliate sponsor, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
