Here is what some climate scientists themselves have say: http://tinyurl.com/27eozg David Legates, Delaware state climatologist: "There's a lot more money to be made by saying the world is coming to an end than to say that this is a bunch of hooey." Reid Bryson: "If you want to be an eminent scientist, you have to have a lot of grad students and a lot of grants. You can't get grants unless you say, 'Oh global warming, yes, yes, carbon dioxide.'" Legates tells students who are not global-warming true believers, "If you don't have tenure at a major research university, keep your mouth shut." Paul Cherubini El Dorado, Calif.
