Want A Problem To "Go Away"? Throw Money At It!
Scientists and economists have been offered $10,000 each by a lobby group funded by one of the world’s largest oil companies to undermine a major climate change report due to be published today.
And this dear people is why there is "debate" among people as to whether global warming is real or not. It's real, but big business, in this case big oil completely backed up by the delusional of all delusional Bush Co. don't want it to be real so they throw some money at the "problem" so the gullible people of the world will think there is no consensus because they don't understand the science behind the reality.
Worst. President. EVER!!
But you knew that already...Back to the problem at hand.
Think Progress makes a very good point:
As Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth pointed out, despite the fact that no peer-reviewed scientific articles published in recent years express any doubt that climate change is happening, more than 50 percent of news media coverage of the issue includes the oil industry’s position on the subject.
Scientific method by its very definition is about peer review. You do it over and over again and the nay sayers just can't back up their point of view with any substantial scientific evidence. Science doesn't lie.
