Host, I'm not saying that big oil has a vested interest of debunking global warming. That is like saying that the global warming community has no vested interest in overblowing the potential impact or their level of understanding of global temperature events.
If this data is accurate, regardless of who funds the research, then it gives ample justification for critisism of the Global Warming community. If you wish to stop big oil funding of the anti-Global Warming community, then you must also stop the Heinz Fund from funding Global Warming research.
Do you think that Mrs. Heinz-Kerry and the Democrats have less purpose in their research as Exxon-Mobile? If you are going to use these excuses to ignore the research, which I would not blame you if you did, then you have the duty to do it evenly on both sides.
BTW, did big oil invest the research by my prior post about Armagh Observatory? Their research has spanned over 200 years of daily temperature readings, which found the earth had in fact cooled. Did big oil have that long a history of funding research?
