Nothing (or very little) about "climate change" is good science. It is the theory of economics, but applied to climate. Take a bunch of measurements and formulas and curve fit it into a computer model. Ignore any inputs that cause outliers and keep on adjusting the weightings and inputs until what you perceive is the correct "result" is obtained. This is not science.

> Nothing (or very little) about "climate change" is good science. The Koch brothers told you that tens of thousands of scientists around the world are making up a devious plan to... to what? to get you to use CFL bulbs?... and you believe the brothers. Great.

  Who do you think is funding those scientists? Maybe Alternative Energy Companies and Governments that can make extra tax from people by pleading they just doing it for the climate. Make sense now?

  It's not a conspiracy. Just gravy trains and careerism. Just like in any other profession.

Which is more likely? That energy companies are using their obscene profits to get bad science out there in an attempt to protect their further acquisition of obscene profits, or that academia is using its limited operating budget in a conspiracy with the majority of the scientific community to do... something?

  "it is very difficult to convince a man of something when his salary depends on believing the opposite" This explains the behaviors of BOTH sides of the debate.

  It seems, at an academic level, the point of all climate research is to get more funding for more research. At a political level, it's about control. AGW is a religion, pure and simple. We are all sinners (producers of CO2), scientist are priests, believers point to their scriptures, non-believers are considered heretics when they point to how illogical the belief is, and it all ends with Armageddon.
