Its exactly what the tobacco industry did with their spin doctors and paid scientists who prolonged the eventual truth coming out so their profits wouldn't be hurt until the very last moment. You think that the heavy polluters like big oil aren't doing everything in their power to ensure their huge profits aren't hurt by government programs to slow down pollution that would cut massively into their profits?

Fox has a very heavy bias towards conservative issues, and in the USA that means you think all the trillions of tons going into the atmosphere just gives the earth this pretty glow, doing no harm

But yeah Photon belittled that original link quickly enough, my job was to remind people of the bias that Fox has and will always show in this debate.

Its amazing to me that people let it become political, since really improving the world with less pollution and using our vast resources of brilliant minds to clean up our act is worse than just watching the world reach a tipping point and screw up this one planet we have.
Unfortunately scientists are human too. Photon's source is as liberal as Fox is conservative: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/phil-p...0_b_78800.html

Don't make either one of them right or wrong but, it does raise the possibility of a predisposed opinion.
