Billionaires Secretly Fund Vast Climate Denial Network
So, it seems we were right about there being corporate shills working for the oil conglomerates!


[link to science.slashdot.org]

Conservative billionaires used a secretive funding route to channel nearly $120 million to more than 100 groups casting doubt about the science behind climate change

Re: Billionaires Secretly Fund Vast Climate Denial Network
$120,000,000 ?

May 9, 2012 – Australia Predicts A$24.7 Billion Carbon Revenue ... Australia expects to raise A$24.7 billion ($24.8 billion) in four years from the carbon tax


120 Million is chump change....

The central bankers stand to gain thousands of times more money than that each year - just from Australia (with only 22 million people in Australia)

Yes, and people are STILL denying climate change. The reason for climate change is the big lie, but we are going to pay for it.

Re: Billionaires Secretly Fund Vast Climate Denial Network
Well of course the bankers will do whatever it takes to make a buck off of whatever happens, that's just expected behavior!

The point is that the Oil barons paid people to try to hold back the information, ie exactly the kind of paid shills that everyone around here are constantly going on about!

That doesn't make the banker's behavior any less disgusting, but these are two different groups of people huh! Big Oil and Bankers, aka the ruling class of this planet!

This climate change is happening to all the planets in our solar system, and has nothing to do with fossil fuel burning.

Re: Billionaires Secretly Fund Vast Climate Denial Network
I wonder how much money has been funneled from billionaires to think tanks constantly working to re-program society into their image.

From how to wage constant war using any perceived threat to society to literally killing millions through eugenics? Funny how when those same tactics are used against their programming they cry, foul!

Oil is about the only thing the west has a monopoly on... we are going to throw that away... meanwhile allowing China, India to pollute. It's a scam to shut down the west.

 Quoting: BuggedOut


Yes if you think about it, it sometimes seems like the world's many conflicts could be terms as "Big Oil" vs the "Bankers", playing the world off itself like a big game of chess.

Big oil stands to lose trillions if we drop the use of their product, while bankers will try to make a quick buck off anything and everything.

So while the bankers are now winning and are going to make a ton of money off all the misery that we're already seeing happening due to climate change, big oil is fighting on!

Re: Billionaires Secretly Fund Vast Climate Denial Network
None of the lobbying has been more telling than a statement issued by 259 investment organisations, controlling "collective assets totalling over $15 trillion" – including major banks, insurance companies and pension funds. These are the bodies calling most stridently for "government action on climate change", because they are the ones who hope to make vast sums of money out of it. They are desperate for a treaty of the type they failed to get at Copenhagen – even more so since the collapse of the US cap and trade bill – because they see their chance of turning global warming into the most lucrative fruit machine in history dwindling by the month.

and Suzanne Goldenberg earns her paycheck from a leftist publication, therefore due to the bias, this article must be written off as disinformation.

Re: Billionaires Secretly Fund Vast Climate Denial Network
Meanwhile I find it rather amusing that whiles everyone gets their panties in a bunch about shills against their favorite ideals, everyone in this thread so far is being extremely quick to jump to the defense of this exposed network of shills that happen to work FOR their favorite ideals.

Double standards much?

I see, so what you are saying is that every single thing Fox News reports is disinformation because they are clearly biased to the republican side of things?

That's some interesting logic!

Re: Billionaires Secretly Fund Vast Climate Denial Network
We have been keeping records for about 300 years, give or take. Climate is NOT now, nor has it EVER been "static", it changes. Heating & Cooling are clearly trends which have existed in our past and will likely exist in the future if this shithole continues to exist. The ridiculous idea to charge an income redistribution carbon tax, yet exempt two of the largest pollution producing countries (India & China) should be ALL the info you need to know about the credibility of this UN funded scheme.

"IF" ALGore truly cared about the earth, he would have set-up these carbon trading companies for the good of mankind. That it's NOT tells you all you should need to know about his true intentions...

I will tell you for free: Human Derived climate change is bullshit, or at the very least negligible compared to volcanic gas, even the very breathe we breath. The way I see it, it is only a matter of time before they start killing us to bring down the carbon output.

What they are fighting is the bullshit that humans are to blame. They are trying to thwart the tyrannical and fascist carbon tax system the blood drinkers are implementing.

No conspiracy here. Humans aren't causing climate change.
