LOL! Calling me names proves your point? What a lame argument. All the researchers pushing the GW religion are subject to the vagaries of funding requirements also. If you bothered to read his argument you'd see that those researchers who don't toe the line of the GW orthodoxy are ostracized. Now that's what I call stifling research. But you seem convinced so I won't engage in a discussion with you. Go drive your electric. You're wasting bandwidth and electricity here.
You are engaged in a discussion with me. You're trying to have the last word without appearing to do so. Lame.

It's not a religion, it's an opposing point of view. Calling it a religion is another lame tactic.
Lindzen is arguing that concerns over funding are causing supporters of the "religion" to continue to advocate views that have no scientific validity. In effect, he's calling all his opponents dishonest. I say he's just as concerned about funding as they are, that he gets his funding from different sources and is as likely to present views pleasing to his sponsors as they are - no more and no less.
