The article from MSN discusses how funding from the oil and gas industry significantly influences research in higher education, particularly in the fields of energy and environmental science. It highlights that universities receiving substantial donations from fossil fuel companies often engage in research that aligns with the interests of these donors, potentially skewing scientific inquiry towards outcomes that favor the industry.

The piece points out that while such funding supports academic research, it also raises concerns about the integrity and objectivity of the research, suggesting that universities might be less likely to challenge or explore the negative impacts of fossil fuels due to these financial ties.
