In a thread here some time back I mentioned a climate researcher who I'd heard
was approached with respect to 'getting rid of the medieval warm period' in
order to make the IPCC case for AGW more compelling.

At the time I didn't have a cite but I just found it again.

Statement of Dr. David Deming

Another one of Exxon's shills.

And you think that's a reason to disregard him ? Oh, he got some funds from an oil
company so you can't believe a word he says ? How ridiculous can you get ?

Your bias is so embedded you must be blind to it.

I could talk of IPCC shills. Heck, the grants available to those who take 'the
company line' over AGW are plentiful. Suggest that you don't believe man is
reponsible and your research will never get funded. That' sounds far more like
institutional bias to me.

That's my whole point; on BOTH sides of this debate (if it can be called
that) most of the 'science' is from people funded either directly or
indirectly from outfits with a known economic interest in the outcome.
To my knowledge, there is NO truly independent research on the issue.

Scientific method my ass

PeteS-

Who is this giant wealthy source funding only people who find AGW? The
Bush administration? The environmentalist organizations? The
scientists who believe in AGW donate money to organizations which
publicize AGW; the scientists who don't believe in AGW receive money
from organizations which publicize AGW. It's really not the same
thing.
