There is money to be made in "Green" energy. Global Warming is natural and will reverse to global cooling eventually its just a cycle. Its profitable to hide the truth. Cant say I wouldnt do the same.

Old news and I'm going to take the side of the global warming researchers simply because it's science and whether or not it's human-influenced, it's still valid and necessary research that must continue regardless of politics.

Smart people take advantage, stupid people get taken advantage of.

Selfish people take advantage, victims get taken advantage of.

It's the university of East Anglia. You can hardly expect reliability. It's like asking Scarecrow to diffuse a bomb when he's been off the caffeine for 48 hours.

Despite that, I very much suspect the quotes are taken out of context and misrepresented. Things like the "trick" which hid the decline may well just refer to a clever way of doing things (like using that trick with integration to find the volume of a 3D curve rather than counting the molecules) which found that the decline was less than it first appeared. Plus, if I remember rightly, I think this was all done by the Russians, who would have just as much vested interest in discouraging the existence of global warming as anyone else would in proving it.
