Breaking news: a center founded by oil interests is trying to undermine the validity of climate data.
I wonder who has vested interests here, NASA or CEI?
*funded, not founded.
Evan, since you are a believer in "follow the money":

Maybe I'm crazy, but it doesn't seem like there's a real incentive for scientists to scream loudly about something to get grant money. Their main vested interest here is...the ability to do more research?
I don't see the overarching economic benefit for these scientists. They still have to do research work to get money; it isn't like they're being rewarded for finding this global warming by getting a $400 million subsidy to distribute as they see fit.
Oil companies, on the other hand, have a very obvious interest in funding people who undermine climate science.
Adding, obviously the science should be reviewed thoroughly. Climategate is a case of really bad ethics. But it isn't like these scientists have any enormous vested financial interest in an outcome relative to ExxonMobil or BP or Shell or another oil company.
Evan, you're really stretching here. Scientists live and die by there ability to generate funding. Beware the climate change academic research complex.
That's obviously a complex I never knew existed.
It's a close cousin to the climate industrial complex
