If they have an agenda, they want people who'll enforce it on other people. Often, but not exclusively small ideological organisations are fronts, or coordinating with much bigger ones. Donations don't always end up where you send them.

so tell me what they might achieve in promoting the idea that co2 emissions are causing climate change?

If someone paid you for a report, would you report be any different if it was funded by the Lib Dems or Tories? If you aren't suceptible to such corruption, then why are you assuming everyone else is? Point of fact one of Noam Chomsky's early works was funded by the US military. Does that mean his work is compromised?
Basically...
Discredit the work, not the author based on where the funding comes from.

the premise is a false one unless you accept that scientists are promoting the idea of climate change for the sake of it. what could their ulterior motive be? if wind farms inc were paying maybe. like i say we are talking about the royal society which is expressing concern, in an unprecedented manner, about the actions of the oil companies which it believes is trying to undermine the pretty consensual scientific evidence about climate change.
