The point of my posting these reports is that there is a dissident
group of planetary scientists who question AGW.
Yes, this is common knowledge.
You won't hear their voices in the main stream media because it is
controlled by the Oligarchy.
On the contrary, these people probably get proportionally more
mainstream press coverage than conventional planetary scientists do.
Just about every article on the subject mentions them.
(I mean that they are probably less than ~1% of the total, so only 1
in 100 articles should mention them, to make things proportional.
That's a rather silly analysis, I will grant.)
Compare this to the fraction of cold fusion scientists represented in
the mainstream press: 0%, even though they far outnumber the cold
fusion skeptics.
This is not caused by an "Oligarchy" but rather by specific people
such as the editor of the Scientific American, the science writer for
Time magazine, and others who are well known to me. These people are
not politically powerful Svengalis. They are not hidden manipulators
of public opinion. They are inept, uneducated, self-important fools
who happen to have landed in jobs that are way over their heads. Sort
of like George W. Bush. A relatively small number of specific
individual people are responsible -- not some amorphous Oligarchy or
Hidden Conspiracy. The same is true of Holocaust denial, tobacco
company denial that smoking causes cancer, Wall Street credit default
swaps Ponzi schemes and other scams, and other irresponsible lies and
misunderstandings.
