``Concerned Scientists`` and Big Climate Change

The Federalist Patriot shows us yet again that there is big money sponsoring the Climate Change industry:


The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) bills itself as an alliance of 200,000 scientists and citizens, integrating independent scientific research with citizen action in order to bring about changes to government policy, corporate practices and consumer choices. Yet the money trail can often lend insight to what an organization’s true goals are. With the UCS, the trail leads straight to liberal activist groups with specific agendas and the need of scientific back-up for their claims. Money is often given with earmarks for certain research work. For example, in 2000 the Carnegie Corporation of New York gave a $25,000 grant for dissemination of a report on National Missile Defense. (That would be against missile defense. They advocated the nuclear freeze during the Reagan administration.) In 2002 UCS received a $1-million grant from the Pew Memorial Trust to support efforts to increase the nation’s commitment to energy efficiency and renewable energy... The Energy Foundation has given several grants over the years ($500,000, $50,000, $100,000 and $600,000) for research into energy use and man-made climate change.

Considering all of these grants with strings, isn’t it a bit hypocritical that these ``Concerned Scientists`` censure free-market organizations for accepting donations from ExxonMobil? UCS alleges that such organizations aim to muddy the waters regarding global warming and have labeled dissenters climate contrarians. So much for science and public debate.

Aim to muddy the water of their muddy minds.Yep too much money to be made to let global warming go away. And now these same people want to keep poor nations poor by forcing their agendas on them.Global Warmers see themselves as the "chosen ones"brought here to save us from ourselves.

I would like to offer proof, not just propaganda, that global warming does indeed exist. Although anecdotal, I believe common sense readers will find it impossible to disagree.
Prior to opening up my latest gas bill I couldn't help but think of this issue. Living in the midwest & heating my smallish home with natural gas, I thought, maybe global warming isn't so bad. Warmer winters will provide less need for gas, less destruction of the environment searching for that gas, & above all, cheaper gas bills! Then why was my bill the highest bill I've ever had at almost $250? Hmmmm? I guess I saved some money though when all of power went out for 14 hours last week due to a horrific "ice" storm bringing down power lines troughout the state. Hmmm?
Again, I couldn't help pondering global warming this morning as I drove to church & passed an outside thermometer displaying the temperature of "10" degrees & the announcer on KMOX said the wind chill was 4 degrees below zero!
Yes, no doubt about it, global "warming" does exist!
