It did address some of the important points raised in this thread.

You mean me, specifically? I'm a Manufacturing Engineer. Not sure howthat matters, as far as this discussion is concerned, but we can be transparent.

"Denier," "Strawmen," and maybe there were others earlier in the thread.

If you want to argue about who's generously compensated, it's those in the "Climate Change" crowd. People earn livings doing this all day. Their purposes is to create doubt, not allow others the opportunity to research and decide for themselves. Look at the incrimating emails from the so-called "Climategate" fallout. Then, there was a second round. No gloating from the other side, but the hard left, like Mother Jones magazine, expected everybody to just forget it ever happened.

Nobody claimed it was end all/be all. By the same token, look at the accolades that "An Inconvenient Truth" received. If anybody had the time or inclination, they could just as easily devote energy to shooting aspects on that full of holes.
Putting this all aside for a moment, look at how reporters and columnists have handled the issue. First it was "Global Warming." When individual weather conditions didn't fit the profile, a new term was coined, "Climate Change." A story came out around July that it was "the hottest summer on record." What a shock, that temperatures reach 90 degrees fahrenheit during mid summer! The week after the media blitz, the heat wave had dissapated. Temperatures reduced to lower 80's in northeast, midwest and eastern seaboard. The stories disappeared until Hurricane Sandy.
Climate is
always changing. Nobody's "denying" that fact. Like somebody else mentioned, it's about man's impact.
