I used to think it was no big deal that my postdoc research on climate at Princeton was funded by BP, but now I see it as BP's effort to burnish its reputation and influence research. On balance, taking fossil fuel funding is a net negative and this kind of research should be government funded.

You say "fossil fuel funding" and "government funded" as if they're two different things 🤔 🤨

And it's not just oil trying to greenwash. A huge amount of Caltech's new sustainability research is funded by a giant donation from the Resnick family, who gained (and are still gaining) their wealth from growing water-intensive crops in areas that can't sustain them.

Does anyone else not care that the planet will be 1.5 degrees warmer in 30 years?

Did they ever try to influence your research?
