Oil companies have contributed to the Heartland Institute.[9] ExxonMobil contributed a total of $560,000 between 1998 and 2005.[10] This included $119,000 in 2005, ExxonMobil’s largest gift to Heartland in that period. Nearly 40% of funds from ExxonMobil were specifically designated for climate change projects.[11] Greenpeace research showed that the Heartland Institute had received almost $800,000 from ExxonMobil.[12]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartland_Institute#Tobacco
The Institute has been actively involved in debate over tobacco policy, opposing restrictions on smoking and criticizing science which documents the harms of secondhand smoke.[23] Americans for Nonsmokers’ Rights reported that there is a the close financial and organizational relationship between the tobacco industry and the Heartland Institute, and described the Heartland Institute as “an active partner of the tobacco industry”.[24]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartland_Institute#Global_warming
Heartland’s publications make the following assertions about climate change:
* “Most scientists do not believe human activities threaten to disrupt the Earth’s climate.”[17]
* “The most reliable temperature data show no global warming trend.”[17]
* “A modest amount of global warming, should it occur, would be beneficial to the natural world and to human civilization.”[17]
* “The best strategy to pursue is one of ‘no regrets’.”[17]
