John Christy, who has been at UAH since 1987, said this week that all of his research funds are derived from state and federal agencies and that he has never accepted research money from business or industry groups that have challenged the scientific findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the U.S. Global Change Research Program, the National Research Council and other expert bodies. Nor has he accepted research funding from groups actively engaged in lobbying against U.S. climate change policies, he said.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics7_john-christy.jpg
