I wonder where the authors get their funding from. My Dad sent me an article written by a friend of his that said that global warming is a non issue, etc. I did some research on my Dad’s friend and it turned out that the organization he helped start gets their funding from the oil industry, information that was not easy to find.

Authors of papers and articles that purport to talk about scientific results should have to disclose funding, finances, etc.

This loops back into the ongoing "why academic publishing is terrible" conversation. And why we're probably heading towards scientists needing to run for office again, like what happened after the Great Depression.
