Even journalists are beginning to revolt at tactics the government is now using to spin the Global Warming myth. Controversy erupted this week at the World Conference of Science Journalists over the National Science Foundation's "underwriting" of media projects. It turns out that the NSF, which is heavily invested in propagating the Global Warming party line, has been quietly producing content for news outlets, content which the casual observer might not recognize...

While NSF accounts for about 20% of research funding, it is THE major source for science and engineering funding that is readily available to run-of-the-mill professors.

No. Most are university professors that believe in AGW or understand the consequences of doing so. Just ask Dr. Bill Gray how quickly funding will dry up and how ostracized they will be from the academic community. I'm a researcher, but my business is not tied to the AGW farce.
