...KOCH BROTHERS!

It's a good thing we have the Internet these days, but for how much longer?

And it’s not working anyway. Despite avalanches of money being spent on research to find evidence of rapid man-made warming, despite even more spent on propaganda and marketing and subsidizing renewable energy, the public remains unconvinced. The most recent polling data from Gallup shows the number of Americans who worry “a great deal” about climate change is down slightly on thirty years ago.

Is it any wonder? Thirty years ago, it wasn't global warming that was going to do us in, but rather run-away global cooling. All those aerosols spewing from chimneys and tail pipes were going to reflect all our warmth back into space. If we didn't so something about that... new Ice age! We were told we had never really seen a blue sky, or clear vistas because of all those aerosols in the air that intercepted light before it could reach our eyes. Remember that? I sure do ( ... )

The "global warming" scare movement is an indication of how much of so-called "science" is really a question of authority. Reject the "authority" and you're rejecting science.
