Global warming?
-
Global warming is indeed a scam, perpetrated by scientists with vested interests, but in need of crash courses in geology, logic and the philosophy of science. And what, exactly, are those "vested interests"? Speaking of vested interests, a google search on "Dr Martin Keeley" (the author of the article) turns up this information: Dr Martin Keeley became an executive director for Emerald Energy in 1996 with primary responsibility for their Colombian operations. Link[^] Who is Emerald Energy? "EMERALD ENERGY Plc is a United Kingdom based company engaged in exploration and production of hydrocarbons in Colombia." http://www.emeraldenergy.com/[^] You may also be interested in his website: "If you are looking for Investment Opportunities currently being promoted by Dr Martin Keeley, directly and indirectly, in the oil & gas and precious metal/mining sectors, you should click on "Martin Keeley, Wealth Creator and Entrepreneur" ... if only I could get my hands on US$ 20-50MM, I could create more than ten times that in new value within 5-7 years. http://www.martinkeeley.net/[^] Overall, I think the article overplayed the "global warming scientists are stupid and have ulterior motives" card. Based on the information he presents, I would expect him to argue that climate scientists were jumping the gun and coming to conclusions based on insufficient evidence. The "vested interests" arguements work much better against the oil companies and their employees (e.g. Dr Martin Keeley) because they have a lot to gain from downplaying the global warming scenarios. ----------------------------------------------------- Empires Of Steel[^]
And what, exactly, are those "vested interests"? Funds and prestige. I don't know your familiarity with scientists, but being part of the mainstream and being media favorite is very helpfull with your status.
