I wonder what his "known strong connections to the oil industry" are. Maybe he has a vehicle which runs on fossil fuel..
McIntyre worked for 30 years in the mineral business,[1] the last part of these in the hard-rock mineral exploration as an officer or director of several public mineral exploration companies.[2] He has also been a policy analyst at both the governments of Ontario and of Canada.[3] He was the president and founder of Northwest Exploration Company Limited and a director of its parent company, Northwest Explorations Inc. When Northwest Explorations Inc. was taken over in 1998 by CGX Resources Inc. to form the oil and gas exploration company CGX Energy Inc., McIntyre ceased being a director. McIntyre was a strategic advisor for CGX in 2000 through 2003.[4]
Prior to 2003 he was an officer or director of several small public mineral exploration companies.

Do you expect that anyone who would go looking for proof this kind of gerrymandering of the public's perception of the whole issue would not be a sceptic?
Not at all - and skeptic's are a good thing in science - however there is a large difference in-between been a skeptic and actively and knowingly seeking to derail the future of the human race. The time is long past for these kind of games - we need action NOW - we don't have time for this kind of shit anymore.
Hell - we needed action 5 years ago.
