In 2007, the American Enterprise Institute was caught offering scientists $10,000 to undermine a U.N. report on climate change. The staunchly pro-business organization, heavily funded by ExxonMobil, sought researchers who would suggest that the U.N.'s process was "prone to summary conclusions that are poorly supported by the analytical work." The AEI wasn't interested in objective climate science, it was interested in easing the way for oil companies.
