WASHINGTON (AP) — A prominent physicist and skeptic of global warming spent two years trying to find out if mainstream climate scientists were wrong. In the end, he determined they were right: Temperatures really are rising rapidly.

The study of the world's surface temperatures by Richard Muller was partially bankrolled by a foundation connected to global warming deniers. He pursued long-held skeptic theories in analyzing the data. He was spurred to action because of "Climategate," a British scandal involving hacked emails of scientists. snip

One-quarter of the $600,000 to do the research came from the Charles Koch Foundation, whose founder is a major funder of skeptic groups and the tea party. The Koch brothers, Charles and David, run a large privately held company involved in oil and other industries, producing sizable greenhouse gas emissions.

3. "D'oh" - People who have studied the facts

Republicons -- on the other hand -- continue their idiotic and self-destructive campaign of lies on this important matter.

Republicons just do not do truth or honesty, as they demonstrate over and over and over.

This whole Denial of Climate Change bullshit has the Republicons branding as the Latter Day Know Nothing Party.

No wonder no one respects republicons.
