For example. You buy this great book about Global warming, The Weather Makers, at the Skeptic Magazine's website...
Sometime this century the day will arrive when the human influence on the climate will overwhelm all other natural factors. Over the past decade, the world has seen the most powerful El Niņo ever recorded, the most devastating hurricane in 200 years, the hottest European summer on record, and one of the worst storm seasons ever experienced in Florida. Dr. Flannery outlines the history of climate change, how it will unfold over the next century, and what we can do to prevent a cataclysmic future, including what every one of us can do right now to reduce deadly CO2 emissions by as much as 70 percent. |

If anyone bothers to look they will see the difference between an individual who pursues science for science, and not for a buck. You'll notice no links to think tanks, or agencies that have paid this guy to do his research to make them look good. Science must remain independent, with a focus on the better good of the many, not the few.
