Bluntly, I think it is high time we take a deeper look at the funding behind this body of research and identify any financial conflicts of interest, both in terms of grant money given to academics, and entities and individuals who would benefit from a global carbon tax.

Does anyone else follow suspicious0bservers.org? It’s a great resource for alternative views around climate change.
