the ones stirring the pot and upsetting the status quo of the mega-wealthy and all powerful fossil fuel industry just as Galileo; the scientist stirred the pot during his day.

I take it you believe NASA is behind this myth as well?

"NASA - Decade Ending In 2009 Warmest Since Record-Keeping Began In 1880s - Bloomberg

Jan. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Temperatures in the decade that ended in 2009 were the warmest since record-keeping began in 1880, NASA said, backing up data from the U.K. Met Office and the United Nations’ World Meteorological Organization."

Because that seems to contradict your assertion that the Earth isn't warming.

If I want or need surgery done on me I see a surgeon, if I need electrical work done, I see an electrician, likewise if I want a scientific opinion I seek out the best science available by the scientists, particulary in their fields of expertise, in the case of climate that would be climate scientists.

No doubt surgeons and electricians need to keep their jobs as well but if they tell me I need surgery or electrical work, I would give their advice much more credence regarding those decisions than listening to a baker or florist about it.
