That paper is worse than bad science, it was actually a fraud job that ****ed off the National Academy of Science. The authors were Arthur B. Robinson who conducts research on protein chemistry and on nutrition and predictive and preventive medicine, Robinson's 22-year-old son, Zachary, and astrophysicists Sallie L. Baliunas and Willie Soon. These guys were funded by Scaife, and are employed by a couple of those right-wing nut factories. ### http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110008220 Richard Lindzen is one of the few academics with relevant credentials who disputes global warming. He also does $2500/day consulting gigs for the oil industry, and refuses to accept a real-money bets on the planet's temperature 20 years from now unless the person on the other side of the bet offers 50:1 odds in Lindzen's favor. So Lindzen is pretty open about the fact he's whoring for the oil industry. ### http://www.junkscience.com/ JunkScience.com is a website maintained by Steven J. Milloy, an "adjunct scholar" the Cato Institute and the Competitive Enterprise Institute - right wing think tanks with long histories of denying environmental problems at the behest of the corporations which fund them. Milloy is also a columnist for FoxNews.com. Milloy is not even close to a climate scientist in training. Milloy has received thousands of dollars in payments from the Phillip Morris company since the early nineties (he shilled for them, arguing tobacco isn't carcenogenic), and NGOs controlled by Milloy have received large payments from ExxonMobil. ### These aren't references; these are paid shills for ExxonMobil. If you want to talk about science, go to the refereed journals, read the measurements and the interpretations, and then come back and explain why the actual climate scientists are wrong. And don't republish bull****. It's as bad as straight-out being a liar.
