Scientists on Climate Change vs Sarah Palin

submitted by Mordhaus

8 years 1 week ago

Jimmy takes a moment to talk about climate change and the confusing political argument that has emerged around it. NASA says that 97 percent of climate scientists agree that the warming we are experiencing is very likely due to human activity - but some politicians still want us to believe it’s all a hoax. So we enlisted the help of real climate scientists to clear some things up for us.

I've always thought the most ridiculous argument against this, was the idea that they (the 97%) were in it for some sort of pay day.

Four or five of the ten most profitable companies in the world are energy companies... but nooooo that couldn't possibly have anything to do with the "counter-argument". Its not like they'd let a few hundred billion dollars stand in the way of science and what is good for the rest of the world.

Corruption is certainly a factor, but I also think that anthropogenic climate change doesn't sit that well with some political ideologies. Religiosity plays it's part as well. Basically I don't think these politicians are casting doubt in an entirely cynical cash-in, I think most of them really believe there is a controversy.
