ExxonMobile will loose huge amounts of money if steps are taken to stop global warming, thats why ExxonMobile pays scientists to say global warming is no big deal.
You got that right!

Junk scientists with Koch and Exxon ties:
Disgraced scientists Willie Soon and John Christy were flown in by Americans for Prosperity to assure state legislators that global warming isn't a problem (it's already a $1.2 trillion problem annually). Doctor's Soon and Christy themselves directly funded by Koch or directly affiliated with several Koch-funded interests like the Competitive Enterprise Institute and Heartland.

Report: 97 percent of scientists say man-made climate change is real


Check out the following link, perhaps 98% of the best climate scientists believe (man made) global warming is happening.
Expert credibility in climate change


Most/many of the climate scientists who say (man made) global warming is (not) happening, are being paid by places like ExxonMobile. These ExxonMobile paid scientists are the ones you see on Fox news.
The following credible sources told us global cooling was occuring. You'll note the exact same people that are telling us AGW is real.

“The cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people in poor nations. It has already made food and fuel more precious, thus increasing the price of everything we buy. If it continues, and no strong measures are taken to deal with it, the cooling will cause world famine, world chaos, and probably world war, and this could all come by the year 2000. (Lowell Ponte, The Cooling, 1976)

The facts have emerged, in recent years and months, from research into past ice ages. They imply that the threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind. (Nigel Calder, former editor of New Scientist and producer of scientific television documentaries, “In the Grip of a new Ice Age,” International Wildlife, July 1975.

At this point, the world’s climatologists are agreed….Once the freeze starts, it will be too late. (Douglas Colligan, “Brace Yourself for Another Ice Age,” Science Digest, February, 1973)

EXXON CEO: Fossil Fuels Are Warming The Planet — But Don't Worry, We'll Adapt

In a speech Wednesday, Tillerson acknowledged that burning of fossil fuels is warming the planet, but said society will be able to adapt. The risks of oil and gas drilling are well understood and can be mitigated, he said. And dependence on other nations for oil is not a concern as long as access to supply is certain, he said.

Excerpts from The Population Bomb written in the 1960s. Dr. Erhlich, the author, is one of the most respected authorities on AGW. lols.


“Our air is noxious, our wildlife is vanishing, even the oceans are threatened. “ Page 24.


“In our irrigated lands of the West there is constant danger of salinization from rising water tables, while, elsewhere, from Long Island to Southern California, we have lowered water tables so greatly that in coastal regions salt water is seeping into the aquifers." P. 47


"China has catastrophic floods, massive famines…Food riots in China, India and Brazil… 100 million Americans dead…bubonic plague in Eygpt kills 65% of her citizens…Los Angeles smog kills 90,000…" Pages 74-78.


From the prologue: The battle to feed all humanity is over. In the 1970s the world will undergo famines –hundreds of millions are going to die…Population control is the conscious regulation of the numbers of human beings to meet the needs, not just of individual families, but of society as a whole…We (the U.S.) are today involved in the events leading to famine; tomorrow we may be destroyed by its consequences…Our position requires we take immediate action…by compulsion if voluntary methods fail. We must use political power to push population control before the pressure permanently ruins our planet…control is the only answer.


All one has to do is change a few words around and you can see the exact same things are going to happen if we don’t give control over to the government to “fix” global warming. What a joke these people are. They been saying the same crap for decades. They just change the scare from population to ozone to cooling to acid rain to warming to climate change. Once enough people realize that climate change is nonsense they will find something else to scare people with. All in the name of power and greed.

Of course, he blames “right-wingers” and Catholics for these “problems” throughout the book. Sounds like libs today.


On page 78 he calls for “compulsory sterilization of all people with I.Q.s under 90.” That’s not a bad idea. Then we no longer have to listen to people whine about global warming.

Might want to read a bit more into that research, the 98% number is bogus.

Here is the paper your link mentions:

Here is the details concerning the "flaws" of that paper.

The paper is poorly done, as I’ve explained elsewhere. They used Google Scholar instead of an academic database. They searched only in English, despite the global nature of climate science. They got names wrong. They got job titles wrong. They got incorrect numbers of publications and citations.

Read the following source from NASA, its one (possibility) of what global warming could do.

A Chilling Possibility - NASA Science


But unforchantly republicans do not care about the dangers of global warming, they would rather join ExxonMobiles paid scientists to say global warming is not happening.

Nifty, though I prefer more entertaining fictional writings of people who actually have a talent for it.

/sigh

Always turns into an idiot fest of "Fox news, Koch brother, Exxon, etc...".

Though I guess when you can't deal with the facts, always go for the throat with politics!

Wow... when we went 3 parts per 10000 (before global warming) to 4 parts per 10000 (during global warming), it completely changed the climate... is there any more idiocy from the liberals on this? Really? And the only way to cure it is by giving money to liberals... Really? You guys are just plain........ ehh... do I even have to say it?

Expert Embarrassment in Climate Change
My source lists the beliefs 1,372 (un-paid) climate researchers.

Your source is put out by Thomas R. Fuller, and Mr. Fuller is paid by oil companies.

The following source shows how oil companies have given Thomas R. Fuller $461,497.00

Thomas Fuller - Forbes

In the past cigarette companies also paid scientists to say cigarettes don't cause cancer. ExxonMobile does the same thing with global warming.
You have to be beyond retarded to (only) trust scientists that are paid by ExxonMobile in matters of global warming. (But Fox news and Rush radio freaks are more than retarded.)

Beliefs aren't facts.

These people are paid to say global warming is a problem.
