For a response from the scientist themselves go to this blog run by some of our leading climate scientists.

I've been in a rage on this particular issue for the last two years ever since I began work on a book about the subject. Though this is not the only area in which routine supression of science takes place, it is one of the most deadly. In a way it is like Holocaust denial, since unchecked global warming will kill as many people or more than the Holocaust did. In a way it is worse, because Holocaust denial dishonors the dead, but global warming denial helps those murders take place.
An ice cream place (or, I should the ice cream place) here sometimes has licorice ice cream. I think it's pretty popular. Everyone I know loves it. Except for me. I hate black licorice.
Re: the scientists. Can they really ask for personal financial information? I mean, isn't that just ridiculous?!
So far they have asked not used subpoenas. If they choose to Congress has pretty much unlimited powers of subpoena.
Typo and tommy, I share your rage. But nobody is ever going to change these people's minds. Half of them think it's their job to hasten the end of the world, and the other half don't care, as long as they've gotten rich, lived the high life and died before the global environmental consequences kick in.
I should have read more before responding about the global warming.
Now, I just have to say, what idiots! My opinion, should anyone care, is that no matter what the reason for the existence of global warming, the real question is what can we do about it. And should anyone have any doubts about global warming, they should just visit Alaska.
On the bright side, I'm in the perfect location for everyone's vacation to the cool. Actually, in a few years we may rival the Riviera. No wonder no one can afford a house here.
Oh I don't want to change their minds. I want to kick their asses (politically - since they are politician not scientists - especially the ones such as Singer who pretend to be scientists.)
Oh I don't want to change their minds. I want to kick their asses
I don't so much want to change their minds or kick their asses as much as I want then to
Stop. Fucking. Shit. Up.
Which will probably require kicking their asses - at least electorally.
The black licorice ice cream freaked me out. It's 1:00 AM and 71 degrees with 76 % humidity. This sucks.
