Subtly revealed by Andy Revkin…
[...] Dan Miller, an engineer and venture capitalist focused on non-polluting energy technologies who blogs on climate at ClimatePlace.org [...] helped Hansen craft his Times piece [...]
(my emphasis)
There is no mention whatsoever of any venture capitalism interests in the original Op-ed.
Revkin doesn’t screw up 100%, even though he tries. Revkin probably thought mentioning the venture capital tie-in helped lend credence to Hansen’s claims.
