It is no longer global warming because it isn't.

It is climate change because it does.

Men are never so likely to settle a question rightly as when they discuss it freely.

— Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859), Essay on Southey's Colloquies

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Funding in the Climate Wars

AGW alarmists like to make a big deal out of the idea that oil interests are behind AGW skeptics. They decry their influence and blame skeptics for the delay in action to address their favorite passion. If Big Oil is behind the objections than we can safely ignore them as being motivated by special interests - their own profits - and therefore incorrect.

They drop the focus on truth and concentrate on guilt by association.

Will AGW alarmists be so quick to identify where the funding comes from when corporations support AGW protagonists?

Remember Citibank? Just won a Green award.

They also were bailed out by the taxpayer.

We don't hear about this. Government money buys the science it wants.

What will Bank of America do with its government largesse?

Will the blogs that expose oil industry financing do the same for pro-AGW organizations?

"Expect the guys at DeSmog to immediately set up a Bank-of-America-Secrets site to protest at the evil influence large corporates have over democracy."

Hypocritically they won't. Money for our guys, good. Money for the opposition, evil.

CAGW is a non-problem that is wasting so many resources for no good reason. We will be the poorer for it.
