It examined funding trends for 2000-2002 and discovered that among the twenty top grant-makers on the issue, ExxonMobil was the only one not hyping global warming and it only ranked 14th in the amount of money it gave away. The top two givers, the Energy Foundation and the Pew Charitable Trusts, gave over $43 million and $12 million, respectively, for programs on climate change.

Argument over.

Short version: If you want your grant money, hype up the Global Warming Hoax for the Lefties.

Don't oil companies fund a lot of these environmental groups?

also the newest tactic by the environmental wackos:

Claim that global warming is causing (insert animal/mammal name here) numbers to dwindle.

Their latest one is they want polar bears to be listed as an endangered specis, even though there is 30,000 of them in Canada and Alaska.

Energy Foundation??? LOL, I love how liberals always name their groups to be the polar opposite of what the name inplies. The Energy Foundation is all about stopping people from using energy.

Given the evidence of a warmer observed area and the unmonitored vastness a consensus would seem to be premature by most regimens; yet we keep hearing about this consensus and we are subject to pleadings to act before it is too late.

Where is the consensus on what should be done and by whom beyond the obvious finger-wagging in the face of Uncle Sam?

The most conservative action would be easy to decide, everyone just use a lttle less of what's available until we understand a bit more about what it is that is really at work here; unfortunately, that won't line the pockets of the green-shirt crowd since they fear that this iron will never again be quite this hot.

If it were proposed that all the studies be financed by a surtax on the energy producers, these mill-tilters would be searching the ground over a few years down the road for old-growth fellings to crab between the vanes.

The reality is they enjoy being miserable and simply want as much company as they can get.
