A VERY POLITICAL CLIMATE

Dr Heidi Cullen didn't expect such a hub-ub. Read her blog here.

Evidently, flak erupted loud and strong. This from James Hann.
The Weather Channel Mess

He says, "Billions of dollars of grant money is flowing into the pockets of those on the man-made global warming bandwagon. No man-made global warming, the money dries up. This is big money, make no mistake about it. Always follow the money trail and it tells a story. Even the lady at “The Weather Channel” probably gets paid good money for a prime time show on climate change. No man-made global warming, no show, and no salary. Nothing wrong with making money at all, but when money becomes the motivation for a scientific conclusion, then we have a problem. For many, global warming is a big cash grab.

The climate of this planet has been changing since God put the planet here. It will always change, and the warming in the last 10 years is not much different than the warming we saw in the 1930s and other decades. And, lets not forget we are at the end of the ice age in which ice covered most of North America and Northern Europe."

Karen says, sure, there is global warming. Sure, mankind burns fossil fuels that pollute, and that is wrong: there is no doubt about it. But just as surely, the planet has cooled and heated dozens of times. The earlier instances of global warming, heating, cooling, freezing, boiling, were NOT during industrial times. What caused those fluctuations to BEGIN and CEASE?

Surely...not exclusively man.
