I think too many people worry about the religious right.

I think not enough people worry about the religious right.

Darrin, WC, etc are in an elite group of bag slanderers and smearers

Fox News Compares James Hansen’s Prizes for Truth Telling to Big Tobacco Paying a Doctor to Deny the Risks of Smoking

no surprise that the head of the Goddard Ins ute for Space Studies is the subject of lawsuits and smears by the fossil-fuel-funded anti-science deniers who want unrestricted pollution, whose efforts, if successful, would doom billions to a ruined climate.

The latest effort is this lawsuit by Christopher Horner (of the American Tradition Ins ute and the Compe ive Enterprise Ins ute), which is debunked here (and below). This smearing of scientists is what Horner does for a living (see Inhofe, Horner, McIntyre and Watts fabricate another phony “de able smear” against Michael Mann).

one of the core strategies of the climate science deniers is to promote the laughable notion that workaholic scientists like Hansen are ‘in it for the money’ – when anyone who knows real scientists understands that this isn’t the profession anyone goes into to make money.

Power companies fund anti-climate research on ‘solar variability’

The oil and gas industry gave astrophysicist Willie Soon more than $1 million over the past decade to fund publications that challenge man-made climate change, according to a report released today by Greenpeace.

Soon is a popular figure among skeptics for his assertions that the sun, not greenhouse gases, affects global temperatures. He works at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, where energy companies have exclusively funded his research for the past five years,

WC just loves industry-funded warming-denying "solar variability' "research"

I'll bet that he already had data to show antropogenic glogal warming is far less than claimed. I'll bet he needed money to publish, so he was able to find it by those who had such an interest.

To suggest he was paid for an opinion...

Give me a break. Plenty of evidence out there to show AGW is less than stated by the alarmists.

You can say what you want, but I have no doubt in my mind that Hansen uses his job to suit his activism, and that his research is colored by his bias.

Someone did not pay attention to the Texas Education Board from last year.

[Winehole23]

I did. There was a backlash and the most egregious jackasses either retired or got tossed out on their pompous asses by the voters. You talk as if the same people are still running the Education Board. That is not the case.

BTW, did you have a point?

i only seem to talk like that to people that are taking stupid pills. What do 'from last year' mean?

The situation came into being because members of the religious right were elected to office. Whether or not they got away with their nonsense is immaterial. Is it that hard to understand?

They are still very well funded as evidenced by the millions that waste their money every sunday.

I disagree. If they're credited with getting elected in the first place, getting turned out of office isn't immaterial. You picked a stale example.

People give money to their churches. Do you have a problem with that?
