>Why are you still reading this neocon propaganda crap?

Oh, sorry, Bill. From now on, I'll only read the material you approve of.

>Where's the peer review? This is just propaganda for political purposes.

Of course. We now all know how perfectly peer review works. (By the 
way, not every worthwhile piece must be peer reviewed.)

And the climate alarmists and those who are doing their best to shut 
up anyone with questions are massively funded by government and other 
institutional sources. As the CRU emails showed, even big oil 
companies are not averse to funding the "consensus" people.

If you're going to make the funding argument (which is simply a way 
of avoiding dealing with the real arguments), I offer this:

The US government has spent over $79 billion since 1989 on policies 
related to climate change, including science and technology research, 
administration, education campaigns, foreign aid, and tax breaks. 
Despite the billions: "audits" of the science are left to unpaid 
volunteers. A dedicated but largely uncoordinated grassroots movement 
of scientists has sprung up around the globe to test the integrity of 
the theory and compete with a well funded highly organized climate 
monopoly. They have exposed major errors.
