Question authority. Especially Socialist authority.
Doesn’t Exxon fund PBS and NPR? So, according to the author, we should question everything PBS and NPR say?
Global warming was a swindle and the rush to sue over silicone breast implants was a swindle as well...
<< Those interviewed in Swindle are portrayed as “leading climate scientists” when in fact they are far from it. They are part of the skeptic network working with organisations funded by the fossil fuel industry. >>
And let us not forget, it was the natural gas industry (Enron) which grandfathered and funded the global warming theory back in the 90’s.
Anyone care to go over this story and count the logical fallacies employed by the author? I ran out of fingers and toes.
FYI..
ABC = AUSTRALIAN Broadcasting Corporation..
Yuh didn’t think the Drive Bys here would show this, do you?
I agree. He must be moonlighting from his day job of dreaming up conspiracy theories.
Gee, I wonder who the anti funding hero is? Soros, perhaps and no telling who else.
If there was anything in this screed to dispute the factual content of the documentary, I missed it.
Ghastly. An Aussie paper that's just as pompous as the UK Guardian.
Now there is a really interesting comment. It seems believable on it's face but can you back it up with some good sources for the claim?
Because even a little amount of doubt helps persuade the public and politicians that the really substantial action needed to address climate change should be put off until we are more certain about the science.
Ah, yes ... we should do SOMETHING, even if we don't know if we're causing problems at all, and even if we don't know whether anything we can do will have any effect....
There are plenty of good reasons to be worried about burning hydrocarbons in the present huge quantities (pollution and supply being the two biggest). It'd be good to focus on those. And then Mr. Ninny's complaint would take care of itself.
Now there is a really interesting comment. It seems believable on it's face but can you back it up with some good sources for the claim?
The program The Great Global Warming Swindle actually lays blame on the Margaret Thatcher regime in their propaganda against the Coal Miners Union in an attempt to undermine the future worth of coal.
Enron had more to do with starting this junk science crap than Al Gore did. They stood to make billions off it.
no pics yet?!
Envirowhackos use their money to fund bad science that is used to smear the oil industry and scare away people from its product.
The oil companies use their money to fund other scientists to point out the holes in the bad science, but they are the bad guys ?
Check the voting on ExxonMobil shareholders’ meetings environment resolutions and don’t overstate your very weak case.
<< Do a Google on Enron + CO2 and you will find dozens of solid references. >>
Thanks, Ditto. You’re about a day ahead of me.
