Dubious corporate science, Dr Beetroot? Like the research, funded
almost entirely by capitalist institutions, which shows that the it is
the Human Immunodeficiency Virus that causes the AIDS, and that
HAART slows the progression of the disease?

One has to wonder about your literacy. Fidel Castro, Evo Morales and
Hugo Chavez explicitly based their position at the Copenhagen summit
on the scientific reports of the IPCC. Nowhere in their written or spoken
statements will you find any endorsement by Chavez, Morales or Castro
of your irrational Dr Beetroot denialist position towards the mainstream
scientific understanding of climate change, or any mention by them of
IPCC being influenced by "a religion of corporate science," or of supposed
scientific malfeasance at East Anglia etc.
Castro, Morales and Chavez have drawn the rational and correct conclusions
from the IPCC, namely that human induced climate change is a most
immediate way in which capitalism threatens the future of the planet, and
that real solutions to this problem can only be envisaged in a socialist
organisation of society.
Nor will you find any quote in the archives to support your ludicrous
and slanderous charge that any contributor to this list supports or has
supported corporate green-washing, carbon trading etc.

For goodness sake, do something about your scientific illiteracy
before you write anything more on this subject.
