"Merchants of Doubt should finally put to rest the question of whether the science of climate change is settled. It is, and we ignore this message at our peril."-Elizabeth Kolbert "Brilliantly reported andwritten with brutal clarity."-Huffington Post Merchants of Doubt was one of the most talked-about climate change books of recent years, for reasons easy to understand: It tells the controversialstory of how a loose-knit group of high-level scientists and scientific advisers, with deep connections in politics and industry, ran effective campaigns to mislead the public and deny well-established scientific knowledge over four decades. The same individuals who claim the scienceof global warming is "not settled" have also denied the truth about studies linking smoking to lung cancer, coal smoke to acid rain, and CFCs to the ozone hole. "Doubt is our product," wrote one tobacco executive. These "experts" supplied it.
Human-caused global warming is a massive fraud. Al Gore didn't invent carbon trading. It was handed off to him by its true inventor, Ken Ley of Enron. Are you really gullible enough to believe these white-shoe wall street boys are dedicated to saving the earth?
In reference to the narrative about smoking and lung cancer. The tobacco companies were right. There is no link to cancer. There is a host of respiratory disorders caused by smoking. But the cancer is caused by radioactive polonium in mineral-derived fertilizers. It survives uptake into the lungs and emits alpha particles forever. The use of this cheap fertilizer is not controlled by state agricultural departments because tobacco is not eaten.
So the nay-sayers are not always liars. Sometimes, they just know the difference between evidence and religion.

What George says about Ken Lay and Enron is true. Those guys worked the angles and completely bamboozled the environmentalists at the Sierra Club.
Ken Lay would never screw anybody! LOL Enron was a great co. and my name God.
