Does that ^^^ prove he is an oil industry lackey though Lanny?
Edit to add this from wikpedia...again no idea if true or not.

However, Patterson is exclusively funded by Canadian Government sources, specifically NSERC and CFCAS.[2]
Patterson states that he "has never received any funding whatsoever from any non-governmental agency". [3]

I dont know why he is discounted so blatently, even though he has written extensively on the subject and is a well respected scientist that has been studying climate change his whole career.
If he was being paid by oil companies etc, then yes he would likely be seen as having a bias, and rightfully so. I just dont see any proof of that though.
I just happened upon this article the other day, which I thought was well researched and put together. Dont know if its accurate or not myself as i am not knowledgable about his field, but it makes some sense if it is accurate.
