The Arizona State University Office of Climatology is directed by Robert Balling, a premier climate science skeptic.

Sherwood Idso, father of Craig and Keith Idso, is an adjunct professor at the ASU Office of Climatology. All of the Idsos are associated with the Western Fuels Association and the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change, an organization dedicated to denying the impacts of global warming (http://www.co2science.org/about/center_staff.htm). Western Fuels Association's Greening Earth Society frequently uses research from ASU Climatology to promote its message that global warming is good for the planet. One example is Robert Balling's article on Loblolly Pines acting as a carbon sink to counteract rising CO2 levels (http://www.greeningearthsociety.org/Articles/2002/pine.htm).ExxonMobil sponsored at least one 2002 ASU Climatology project, "The 2000 United States Historical Climate Network Update: What Changed?" by Robert C. Balling, Jr. and Craig D. Idso. In 2000, The Greening Earth Society sponsored "Establishment and Operationalization of a Climate Data Task Force," by Robert C. Balling, Jr. and Russell S. Vose (http://www.asu.edu/clas/geography/climatology/Current%20Site/Index/Projects.html).
