Scientists paid to trash climate study

Much attention at the end of last week on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report which predicted dire consequences of heat waves, cyclones, droughts, rising seas, if the world failed to act quickly.

You can read reports on the panels findings here, here and here.

So then we get reports that the Exxon Mobil funded think tank the American Enterprise Institute was bribing scientists to say it isn't so. The news report is from The Guardian.

On top of that, we also get have the news of President Bush signing an order appointing an apparatchik flunkey into every agency to ensure it toes the official line. Business groups have welcome the directive but environmentalists have attacked it, saying it gives the White House too much control.

  1. Climate change is one of the most critical global challenges of our time.sometimes the increase in extremely hot summers predicted by climate change models may lead to a higher death toll.Rising or falling sea level can reshape the world’s coastlines and affect some of the most densely populated areas on Earth.and its also in news that worldwide February 15 protests that saw millions of people in the streets protesting the reckless adventurism of the Bush administration has begun to eat away at the periphery of Bush’s “Dominion of Deception.”

  2. we really need to wake up and notice what the president is really doing. we need to make sure that our planet is a safe place to live in.

  3. Many people blow this environmental thing way out of proportion. We need to be worrying about drilling in Alaska to lower the gas prices.

  4. If we took responsibitly ourselves on the environment we wouldnt have to blame other people.

  5. To much focus is on the environment and not us drilling in Alaska.

  6. I definatley agree with this type of science.

  7. Climate change is obviously on the mind of everyone is Alaska, but few people talk about the fact that it also has one of the highest rates of drug addiction in the country.
