For nine years, multinationals like Shell and Bayer funded a prominent climate denier
Quote
The personal archives of prominent Dutch climate denier Frits Böttcher (who died in 2008) reveal that he received over a million guilders – close to half a million in euros – from Shell and other Dutch multinationals during the 1990s. The explicit objective: to question human responsibility for global warming.

I mean, hasn't all this been common knowledge for years?

It's been conventional wisdom. That denialists are funded by fossil fuel corporation isn't any sort of revelation. Having proof, on paper, that names names is a bit more. Hopefully we'll see prosecutions and jail time, though I don't know how likely that really is.
