I don't doubt for a second that there is a human connection to the Bush administration. Only humans could screw things up as badly as dumbya and his band of boobs has done.
I would point out that simply "connecting doubting scientists to industry-funded research," if in fact that can be done, is nothing more than the
ad hominem fallacy. Moreover, it's also possible that they receive industry funding because they have come to conclusions that the industries like, but they come to the conclusions before they received any funding.
I'm not advocating any particular position. It's far outside my field of expertise and I certainly haven't looked into it enough to understand the science behind it. However, it is apparent that many scientists on
both sides of the issue act a great deal like people more motivated by ideology than by science.
Those who would sacrifice an essential liberty for a temporary security will lose both, and deserve neither. -- Benjamin Franklin
