London, 14 October 2014: New research by the Carbon Tracker Initiative (CTI) today reveals that 99% of sampled coal, oil and gas companies recognise climate change poses a risk to their businesses – but perpetuate investor uncertainty with only 7% of companies providing evidence of adequately integrating this risk into corporate project and capital expenditure assessments.

Economists claim coal gasification 'could generate £13bn'

An alternate headline might be "report paid for by company wanting to set fire to coal beds under the Firth of Forth unsurprisingly recommend that it's a fabulous idea and would make everyone stinking rich."
Biggar Economics was founded by one Graeme Blackett, listed as it's company director and economist. I'm assuming he's the same Graeme Blackett who was formerly advisor to Big Eck. A quick google suggests seems to be quite involved in writing about the oil/gas sector and he comes across as a bit of an "it's Scotland's oil" type.
The chipwrapper really does attract a special kind of idiot to its comments.
The headline writer on this one made me chuckle:
Scotland Takes a Different Fracking Path
Sadly the article itself appears to have it's headline updated but the home page links are still the same.
