13. I wasted a little time...

..going back and forth with a hammerhead on a newspaper LTTE board about warming/change.

I did all the 97% stuff, and a list of national and international science panels who support warming/change. I included the American Medical Association. I covered the carbon corporations and their propaganda effort. I pointed out that thousands of scientists, in many associations aren't conspiring to hoodwink us.

I did the whole thing... trust me.

His final post... I shit you not...

"No conspiracy, just human nature. These scientists of yours are far from being independent, as you naively believe. Most of them are funded in large measure by public dollars. There is much economic incentive for them to continue studying manmade global climate change. The bigger the perceived disaster, the more public money will continue to flow. And flow and flow and flow. There (sic) cash cow would disappear if the public wasn't frightened for the future.
Now, I have changed sides and joined your ranks. Please send money for my study, quickly. I am truly independent and currently receive no money from any public source."

There is no fucking hope!
