    Notice that Dr. Soon does not deny that global warming is happening. He just fudges his research to say nature not man is the reason. After all his money is coming from the fossil fuel industry which he failed to note as required by ethical standards.

    Aren't all these scientists paid by someone?

    Yes, and what septics receive is peanuts compared to the government grant scientists.

    Dwight Eisenhower warned, “Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields…Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity.”
    “We must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.”

    I'm glad you posted something from such a fact driven publication as the Enquirer!

    Now for the rest of the story.

    Really, if you are using the Enquirer as a source for factual information, then you have more issues than I originally thought.

    You're welcome.

    Will you continue to let your lie stand as posted, or will you retract your statement?

    Well….

    The Enquirer broke the Gary Hart story, Monica Lewinsky, AND John Edwards. All three were 100% factually correct. Nobody lied.

    That's a better track record than the author of this O/P has.

    What I don't understand about you is why you make personal attacks when someone disagrees with you. I thought the purpose of a message board was debate. As you very well know, I quoted Daniel Greenfield on this issue, and my source was linked. Why don't you stop your personal attacks and debate? It doesn't bother me when someone disagrees with me--I try to persuade them.

    It's your job to persuade us that Al Gore does not belong in the same category as the UN guy.
