If someone is offering money for stating something on a blog, I’d just like to throw my hat in the ring. What would they like me to say and how much? Maybe I can get a bigger fireplace for my cave? But that would lead to more CO2 emissions. Kind of self defeating isn’t it?

Seriously, as a non expert who does understand just enough to realize how big this thing is, this guy nails my skepticism on the head. I don’t trust the studies since there is so much money tied up in it. I also don’t trust people who believe they know what’s best for everyone, and that people who want to wait for further proof before taking extreme measures are “cavemen” or “knuckle draggers”. You left out a big one, mongoose, the ozone hole.

Right. Yet you’ll gladly accept the word of groups who are funded to the tune of millions of dollars by energy industries trying to protect their profits. And you don’t see a bit of a disconnect there?

The idea that scientists are getting “rich” by promoting global warming is so ludicrous it doesn’t even deserve an answer.
