I think Ed inadvertently hit upon the problem My scepticism about 'global warming' has nothing to do with the oil companies... but it acceptance is often tied to the hatred of them. It's actually hatred of business and love of the non-productive academics who sit in their ivory towers rendering disdainful opinions of the common people down below. We are often told of how 'global warming' is caused by greedy Americans (oh yes, there is a hatred of traditional American values as well). Controlling people for their own good to stop 'global warming' is just the follow up to the attempt to control people for socialistic reasons... which failed, because socialism is inoperative due to it's complete misunderstanding of human nature. (Please don't tell me about vibrant European economies with the socialistic bent... there aint none! They are in worse shape than we are.) Ed is correct when he says 'follow the money'. Just look how much money is being poured into questionable projects to help stop 'global warming'. Check out how much of NASA's budget is focused on that area. Check out how many academic grants are given to study this pueudoscience! There are big bucks in 'global warming' and it's propoents are only too happy to take them from the big oil companies. The problem is that in doing so, they are taking it from you and me. This may be fine with you, but it's not fine with me. What's the old saying... Love of money is the root of all evil.
