I honestly believe that this story, and in fact this very video, should put the last nail in the coffin of the "worldwide hoax by scientists groveling for government grants conspiracy" BS. I'm trying it out on a few denier FBFs, rubbing their noses in it. I have found that the very most basic, almost insurmountable notion clung to tenaciously by deniers is that this is a liberal hoax perpetrated by secretly-liberal governments worldwide, and that they hold scientists on the short leash of "grants" in order to further their nefarious goal of "transferring wealth to third-world countries", thus completing the global Communist takeover...or whatever the hell they're thinking. But as I asked on my FB page, "Who were Exxon/Mobil's scientists trying to please?"
I'll keep you posted on the reactions.
