Quote by: Mr.Vicchio  Pooey, you list organizations that have credence, but I see far too much political and money games going on to put as much stock as you do in them.
I KNOW meteorology man, it was my job, 10 years of my life. I understand it better then you, I just do. I don't buy into the "man is causing global warming" and neither do some VERY presitgious scientists. I do know that many groups like the NAS and others you cite rely on grants and federal dollars to function, and with all the political fervor over Global Warming I see the bottom line winning out over science.
Think about that angle for a second... if they come out against global warming, those paying them (politicians) will find someone else to fund.
That is one of my BIGGEST problems with the global warming hysteria. How many federal grants are going into studying global warming as a natural phenomenon, even just to counter and ensure what's out there is right, and how much money is going into giving us "solutions" to global warming, all of which happen to empower government.
Yeah, go do the research Pooey, YOU might be surprised to find I've got a valid point. |
That's all very well but why did the US government remain, until recently, vehemently in denial of GW? Surely, the champion of capitalism should be cashing in on this conspiracy?
Can you elaborate on how exactly is it that they've kept so many in secrecy over this conspiracy?
Fact remains, an overwhelming majority of the scientific community, especially those currently undertaking its research are in agreement with the status of global warming.
Also, I don't claim to understand climate any better than you, never have and never will do. I merely paraphrase the statements and findings of others who are far more qualified (climate scientists).
So in short, your denial is based on the premise that tackling GW means we have to give more powers to the government? And that climate scientists etc. are all colluding together to setup a global scandal hell bent on making the world more energy efficient?
