1) It depends on how those scientists are funded; and 2) how many times throughout history has the dissenting scientist turned out to be correct? Thank goodness we didn't take your approach when Galileo and Newton stood up the scientific community who was just convinced the earth was at the center of the universe.
Anyway, believe whatever you like. That does not give anyone the right to impose that belief on others. Sell your car, turn off your electrical appliances, eat only what falls from nearby trees...whatever you think it right. Just don't tell me your beliefs mean I owe someone else money or that more unconstitutional government agencies are required.
Silly dingleberry. We are talking about scientists from every country and political system on earth. So you are stating that they are all getting their funding from one place. What a grand conspiracy theory.
Galileo went against the church orthodoxy, not other scientists with his support of the Coppernican plantery system. Newton was hailed in his time as the greatest living scientist by other scientists. You really should know something about history before you flap your yap.
I didn't say scientists get their funding from one place. You did. Rhetoric is your thing I see.
That said, scientist that get their funding from the same governments that wish to promote global warming so that they may enact more redistributive and regulatory schemes sure as hell can be influenced in their findings, especially with a topic as muddy as predicting future climatic conditions.
Your Galileo analogy is weak, really weak. The church was the authority at the time, just like you think the government is today. He was the guy standing against what everyone else accepted as fact. And Newton was hailed, after he was ridiculed.
And btw, nice ad hominem attack there. Not childish at all...
and governments get their money from the same source---taxpayers.
Enough of this scam to steal. People are wising up.
