Here's the article
"Pat Michaels - Virginia's state climatologist, a University of Virginia professor and senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute - told Western business leaders last year that he was running out of money for his analyses of other scientists' global warming research. So last week, a Colorado utility organized a collection campaign to help him out, raising at least $150,000 in donations and pledges."
It seems to be that any research that collects data, regardless of the particular bent of the scientists, is valuable science and worthwhile. Huge numbers of researches base their studies on data that others have collected. The funding for the collection is key, no matter where it comes from or the views of who it goes to.
