Emphasis on individuals and titles that should cause alarm for believers in AGW are mine. Follow up counters and rebuttals (Youtube links, etc.) from readers referring scientists who earn their income in studies that obtain grants and financing from Global warming Studies not welcomed (for obvious conflict of interest reasons).

People talk about oil companies funding climate research being a conflict of interest but when states fund it that is ok. Wow who is the propagandist here.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anonymous. The State has an interest in regulating your interests. The answer is usually more government. In this case the government decides who gets to open a factory and how much it will cost them in taxes. A global bureaucracy will then dictate which country can prosper and which has to sacrifice itself for "the greater good of this planet".
ReplyDeleteIt's times like these why I don't mind being called a crackpot.
Which reminds me, I read your book a while back and liked it! Whatever happened to that guy who came up to you at a party and told you, "Everything you know is wrong." Was that guy really crazy or just so smart he made everyone look crazy?
diego san,
ReplyDeleteThat guy? I think he was just stoned. Last I talked to him we got into an argument. The topic? He was totally gung ho for invading Iraq and told me that "we'll be in and out in 4 weeks!" What a moron. I lost all respect for him them.
