Who gets money from Exxon-Mobil and similar sources for producing his
ill-informed scepticism.

OK, explain something to me.

We've either reached, or will soon reach, peak petroleum production -
that's what the oil experts themselves say. So that in and of itself
indicates thet alterantive energy sources need to be developed. Given
that fact, what is the payoff/reward/advantage for Exxon to refute global
warming? If petroleum is, or will soon be, on the decline, wouldn't it
be smarter for them to use all that money to instead expand out from
being "an oil company" to being "an energy company", which is what BP
claims it's doing? IOW, if oil is on the decline, Exxon will eventually
start losing profits *regardless* of any question about global warming,
so by spending money on countering global warming, ratehr than spending
it upon things taht would actually keep them in business for the long-
term, arent tehy just shooting themselves in the foot so to speak?



Also, as I've asked in the past, wouldn't CO2 be lowered if non-polluting
or less-polluting energy sources continue to be developed? ANy dope
knows that pollutants cause various sorts of harm, so why are poeple
clawing at one another over global warming, rather than using that brain-
power and human energy to counteract pollution?

Re: CO2, if planting trees helps reduce CO2, well, it *also* beautifies
and helps cool the areas where they're planted.

It just seems to me that the bickering about global warming distracts
people from taking real, current action to solve well-known
problems...and just who benefits from that, I wonder?
