=== The IPA and climate change ===
In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald[http://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate-change/the-benefit-of-the-doubt-20100507-ujof.html], IPA Executive Director John Roskam confirmed the IPA's key role in supporting Australian climate sceptics. '"Of all the serious sceptics in Australia, we have helped and supported just about all of them in their work one way or another," he says, listing some prominent figures on the local circuit. "Ian Plimer - we launched his book - Bob Carter, Jo Nova, William Kininmonth."'
In 2008, the institute facilitated a donation of $350,000 by Dr G. Bryant Macfie, a climate change sceptic, to the University of Queensland for environmental research. The money is to fund three environmental doctoral projects with the IPA suggesting two of the three agreed topics.
