Earth Day

Today is a good day to reflect on the global warming debate. I am still shocked to see some conservative commentators and bloggers to be arguing that global warming doesn't exist, or worse that it is a deliberate hoax. I was glad to see this week that Mother Jones magazine has run an article explaning why this "debate" still exists. It turns out that one oil company, ExxonMobil, has funded the entire "global warming dosen't exist" enterprise. Every scientist. Every paper. Funded with Exxon money. This wasn't too much of a shock to me, but it does indeed boggle the mind that some people actually buy into this "science", when it is so obviously perverted to serve the needs of the oil industry.
