Politicians like Inhofe are getting larger political contributions from oil & gas, coal, utilities & the auto industryWorking to confirm it only perpetuates the income. Denial or even minimization would send that money elsewhere. These are not scientists in the purest sense. They are capitalizing on fear and it is certainly not a "vast" majority affirming anything. However, some of the world's "most important research scientists" have been exposed through email archives at the Climate Research Center at East Anglia University. They conspired to use false information to support their conclusions!!!
indeed.
and a majority of politicians (at least in this country) are global warming deniers and the vast majority of scientists worldwide affirm the fact of global warming, the green house effect & human activity in causing it. Originally Posted by Scalawag

Why? That is my question!!!
Yes, I was skeptical before this but until this question is answered I don't trust anything the scientific GW Community has to say. Fool me once .....You know the saying!
