[Pretzel Logic]

Anyway, you had previously asked for a scientific article that suggested we shouldn't worry about global warming. Here's a peer-reviewed scientific paper that suggests the IPCC is far from the mark:

Now, I can already tell you what will happen if any "global warming true believers" read this peer-reviewed scientific study: They will find a way to attack the source. (If you can't attack the science, then you attack the source!) I just don't understand why they're not ALSO attacking the sources on the other side. Why only use critical thinking to CONFIRM BIAS? There are a great many who now have a vested interest in making money and/or gaining power from the BUSINESS of promoting man-made global warming -- why are they not being questioned equally?

Nobody really thinks that Al Gore produced his movie as a "public service"? Do they? There was profit motive, power motive, agenda motive... etc.

There is profit motive from "green energy" -- there is power motive from the politicians -- there is agenda motive for the many who believe "the earth would be great if we could just get rid of all the PEOPLE."

If you're going to question the source, fine. But don't give one side a free pass. Scientists need jobs too, and some happen to find that this new "green energy army" needs soldiers AND it pays well... you do the math.

Imagine you work in the "green energy" field, and your job is WHOLLY DEPENDENT on people believing man-made global warming is a problem. In fact, the BIGGER the problem is perceived to be, the more money you make! You gonna come out and say, "Ya' know, this isn't really the problem we think it is." -- ? Doubtful. In fact, you will go a step farther and you will not even be aware of this tendency: To preserve your own internal sense of consistency, you will ACTUALLY CONVINCE YOURSELF THAT IT'S A PROBLEM. Even if it isn't. Good luck seeing past THAT bias -- when seeing past it would render your whole life's work meaningless, AND mean that you'll be out of a job and that your family will be out on the street.

Where is the skepticism, the critical thinking, the examination of the credibility of witnesses when it comes to those who are in the business of promoting man-made global warming as a pending catastrophe? It's not logical to only question one side when BOTH sides have viable ulterior motives.
