The Clintons All Over Again: Why the "Hatred" Toward Global Warming Experts?


I invite those who believe "global warming as a myth" to explain to my why this is a political issue, why impoverished professors like me are somehow becoming rich by pointing to the dead canary in the mine, how researchers on Global Warming are profiting or have profits as their main source of interest. Professors do not choose this career for the money, there's no question about that. And why is it that so many online discontents about global warming rely on childish cheap shots, bad grammar, and caricatures of Al Gore? There should be no need to "shoot the messenger" if your proof that global warming is a myth is held up to scientific scrutiny, not simply mocking those with whom you don't agree. Of course, there were a significant number of Americans who also thought we should have stayed out of WWII.
