Feds spend $79B on Global Warming Research
TransWorld News ^ | 7/22/2009 | Robert Ferguson

Posted on 07/24/2009 6:18:13 AM PDT by rbg81

The Science and Public Policy Institute announces the publication of Climate Money, a study by Joanne Nova revealing that the federal Government has a near-monopsony on climate science funding. This distorts the science towards self-serving alarmism. Key findings:

The US Government has spent more than $79 billion of taxpayers’ money since 1989 on policies related to climate change, including science and technology research, administration, propaganda campaigns, foreign aid, and tax breaks. Most of this spending was unnecessary.....

Some thoughts:

1. So much for "settled" science. How many of these scientists have a vested interest in the GW phenomenon? Given this, is there any surpise about their (purchased) conclusions? 2. As big as $79B is, its is a tiny investment considering how much in taxes and fees GW will yield. Its such a bonanza, that people and companies who know better have sold their souls to cash in. 3. In the last few years, temperatures have cooled, not warmed. A lot of people refer to this as "the missing summer". But, do you think a little thing like evidence will derail the GW juggernaut? Even if it started snowing in July, the GW train would keep on rolling. They are not going to throw out decades of planning and schemeing just because the weather won't cooperate. If anything, they will just call it generic "climate change" and move on.

And here we’ve got one excellent documentary...

It’s one thing to gripe and complain about these things and disagree with it, but it’s quite *another* to convince your friends and neighbors and relatives and coworkers...

THEREFORE..., it’s also absolutely necessary for people to know the information in the following documentary. If there were simply *one* video that you could see and/or show people you know... this would be the *one*...


The following is an *excellent* video documentary on the so-called “Global Warming” I would recommend it to all FReepers. It’s a very well-made documentary.

“The Great Global Warming Swindle”

If you want to download it, via a BitTorrent site (using a BitTorrent client), you can get it at the following link.
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3635222/The_Great_Global_Warming_Swindle
[this is a high-quality copy, of about a gigabyte in size...]

It’s worth seeing and having for relatives, friends, neighbors and coworkers to see.

Also, see it online here...

[this one is considerably lower quality, is a flash video and viewable online, of course...]

Buy it here...
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WLUXZE
[this one would be the very highest quality version, on a DVD disk, of several gigabytes in size...]

Also, in split parts on YouTube...

And AlGore and James Hanson dare accuse the global warming skeptics of being funded by self serving corporations. Whatever our guys get from private parties is nothing compared to the Federal funding for the global warming scientists

This is a full employment program for scientists. A welfare program

Big Government is the sole market in this evil monopsony for the GI/GO computer climate models generated by prostitute scientists that gives greedy Big Government an excuse to grab more power, control and private sector wealth.

Most? Most? It's nuts. Same as if we spent $79 Billion researching the environmental impact of unicorns on wheat production...

$79 billion to prove Global warming in the last 20 years
Recently I tried very hard to find money that is used to disprove global warming:
less the $10 million total to disprove GW in the last 20 years.

If Big Business was behind the skeptics then where is the money? It is obvious the big lobbyists are behind the global scam and the leftists are their useful idiots.
