An extensive study into the financial networks that support groups denying the science behind climate change and opposing political action has found a vast, secretive web of think tanks and industry associations, bankrolled by conservative billionaires.

"I call it the climate-change counter movement," study author Robert Brulle, who published his results in the journal Climatic Change, told the Guardian. "It is not just a couple of rogue individuals doing this. This is a large-scale political effort."

His work, which is focused on the United States, shows how a network of 91 think tanks and industry groups are primarily responsible for conservative opposition to climate policy. Almost 80 percent of these groups are registered as charitable organizations for tax purposes, and collectively received more than seven billion dollars between 2003 and 2010.

Among those named as key nodes of the network were the American Enterprise Institute, which claims to have no institutional position on climate change, and the Heritage Foundation, which campaigns on a number of issues.

AHAHAHA

it's all coming crashing down again, the fantasy world you live in just got a dose of reality. welcome back 33, how was the Romney landslide?

The funny thing is that most denial scientists are supported by these same groups. What it does is make people who really care have to rebut this stupid shit over and over. The just keep churning out the docotored graphs, the asinine comments like "it's snowing outside" etc..

So first there was no problem, now you are saying who gives a fuck because we can't fix it? your an idiot and a direct cause of the problem. First you ignore reality, let it build to a breaking point, then because you have no idea what you are talking about, suggest that we fold are arms and watch. I realize not facing reality and doing nothing are your mantra's but there are solutions and instead of halting solutions just get the fuck out of the way.

Also, quite the display of leadership by the patriotic american, they aren't doing it so why should i. Do you think george washington would say something like this? lincon? no they would have lead teh world out of the dark fucking spot it;s in. There is a problem, it needs fixing, it starts with the industrialized world.

Personally I don't care one bit.  Ill adapt to whatever.  I can Ruck to safety - not worried

Yup -  Have Ruck - will travel

[Necrosis]

before someone says it's not my responsibility? if you contributed to the problem you should at least hel.p, of which the least is not obfuscating the people trying to fix it. Stop posting anti-warming alarmist purchased propaganda, it just spreads further mis-information.

You definitely don't have kids otherwise you wouldn't speak the way you do. you plan on leaving a shit hole for them? somebody else will fix it right? aw that good ol republican personal responsibility in progress, to me you sound like that dude in the group project who doesn;t pull their weight yes supports group work.

You complain about leechs because it's a projection, you are a leech, leeching off the teat of society, make that dick of society, greedily ingesting all the cum.

do you not know how quotes work?

[Necrosis]

I read this paper, it's actually peer reviewed, in a good journal with sig power. This is legit, how isn't this fraud or a crime against humanity. These people are actively hiding, obfuscating real science and potentially harming the earth so they can profit and continue raping the earth.Why do people support them, they want money, that's it.

Al Gore is teh same, money, he exploited a problem for money, life isn't black and white, global warming is happening and al gore can still be an asshole and wrong. I think the major problem is that you guys are getting your science, not from papers, or profs, but newscasters and biased agenda driven anal polyps.

[Necrosis]

These guys spent 7 billion to deny climate change, and people are starving in the street. Countries like the atoll paradise the maldives will be gone and it's a result of these people and their ilk. They are raping the earth makign massive profits,hiding the money, effecting public policy to make more money, combatting science and facts to lie and deny in order to rape the earth and make more money. Then dario is going aroudn posting the same 17 year bullshit he has posted 5 times , hoping that sheer quantity precedes finding truth.

DRILL BABY DRILL!!!!!!

Global warming is as believable as farting cows, zombie attacks, evolution and Obamacare.

Guys on the right before you go bashing this conspiracy or agenda, this is peer reviewed research assholes,this isn't some think tank fucking info piece, it's peer reviewed research, read the paper yourself. It's a fact.

Global warming is occurring and we are the problem.

you throw your lot in with the talking snake, evolution deniers and I will stick with peer reviewed research. We will see who prevails, bullshit only lasts for so long.
