I'm not sure if this was motivated by the question I asked, but that question wasn't based on hot air.  Montford (a long time climate change skeptic), whom Lewis cites approvingly, received £3000 for his enquiry into the CRU email story from the Global Warming Policy Foundation, a group that is opposed to climate mitigation efforts and which steadfastly refuses to reveal the source of its funding.
