Ok, lets recap...

You Say that a NASA press release somehow supports your belief that AGW is false. You then go on to say that the science from NASA and other government agencies can’t be trusted because the scientists slant the data in order to get all that sweet global warming cash... Lets put that bit of cognitive dissonance aside for a minute.

I pointed out the report you referenced in no way supports your stance… I point out a small fraction of all the other data that refutes your stance, I point out how massive such a conspiracy would have to be- how such a claim is exactly the same as Moon Hoaxers in its staggering absurdity… The level of dishonesty that must be shared by every single scientist in the field of climate research boggles the mind…

Do you address any of these points? No- of course not… You simply respond by claiming there is a lot of money going to those that support the supposed hoax…
I expected better of you TB… you used to at least try and make your BS credible.

In 2016, about 20 percent of NASA’s budget is going to climate-related studies…


No…. ~10% of NASA’s budget is Earth Sciences, of which climate research is only a portion… and FAR from being a guarantee of funding- reporting the data on global warming can get you targeted:

The conspiracy you allege would require that not one scientist involved in it break ranks and show the definitive proof that AGW is a hoax. DESPITE the fact that anyone that could provide such proof could get quite a hefty award from the petroleum industry. It would also require incredible secrecy- which is complicated by the fact that the bulk of this data is publicly available.
Again, the level of dishonesty that you are alleging is insulting and slanderous…
What is more believable –
1) All the worlds scientific organizations are engaged in a massive conspiracy to sell the idea of AGW – apparently for no reason other than to piss off capitalists and conservatives…
Or
2) Partisan hacks with no actual understanding on the topic are transparently and tragically wrong…
