Quote: First Amongst Daves said: And therein lies the vested interests. What are scientists doing talking about economics?
Others would argue the "vested interests" are the ones arguing for Kyoto:
The global warming theory has caused an absolute shower of research money to fall down upon the heads of atmospheric scientists -- people who once got little funding. So few atmospheric scientists question the theory outright. It would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Even when they find something good about global warming they manage to make it sound bad.
So the only scientists who often question the theory are Russian scientists (they don't get much in the way of research grants anyway) and retired scientists (their research grant days are over).
That other 95% of the scientific community are part of a vast global conspiracy to end the American way of life. Circle the SUVs boys!
