By a happy coincidence, I understand that Fred Singer was one of 
these latter. One quote: "Fred Singer is an Exxon shill. He used to 
work for the Tobacco industry, saying that there was no clear link 
between smoking and lung cancer."

A rather hysterical site gives some details: <

Another: "before that he shilled for the sugar industry, I 
believe....  I once did a great deal of research on the role of 
nutrition and behavior in prisoners and children.  Amazing results 
which Singer led the way in debunking as I remember, then it came out 
who was funding him." This might not be correct; hard to see what an 
atmospheric physicist would be doing speaking about sugar, but hey, 
what was he doing talking about the safety of tobacco?
