Exxon Mobil supporting bribes to alter Climate Change Scientists findings

"The American Enterprise Institute, which has received $1.6 million from ExxonMobil, offered scientists up to $10,000 for a 'policy critique' of the U.N. global warming report released on Friday" -Rueters

The American Enterprise Institute is a right-wing think tank that is sponspored by the Oil Industry with very close ties to the Bush Administration. Lets face it, if the Bush Administration honestly admitted that Climate Change was happening, then it would mean spending tax payer dollars trying to eliminate green house gas emmissions. Now lets sit and think about which industry going "GREEN" would affect the most...the oil industry. Global Warming threatens the oil industry because people will want hybrids, electric cars, and will also want wind and solar energy, all of this will cut into the amount of oil that Americans normally consume, which in turn means less profit for companies like Exxon Mobil.

Speaking of Exxon Mobil,
"After ringing up the biggest annual profit figure in U.S. corporate history in 2005, Exxon Mobil yesterday announced that it topped that number in 2006. Riding the wave of high crude oil and gasoline prices, the company reported a profit of $39.5 billion, up 9 percent from the year before. Its revenue of $377.6 billion exceeded the gross domestic product of all but 25 countries" -Washington Post

This Sort of thing really gets my blood boiling. If you follow the money trails, its obvious that what used to be considered conspiracy is no longer that but is now FACT. Corporations and their multi-billion dollar profits that rival the GDP of ALL but 25 countries in the world are influencing world politics to stay rich and get richer...thats sad people.



So in other words, climate change scientists are being bribed in favor of disproving the global warming debate despite the fact that the United Nations IPCC, or Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report last friday stating that global warming is 90% likely caused by man-made carbon emmissions. This is not new of our current administration. In 2001 the Environmental Protections Agency did a report to see how Climate Change was affecting the United States environment and eco-systems, "but after editing by the White House, a long section describing risks from rising global temperatures has been whittled to a few noncommittal paragraphs. The editing eliminated references to many studies concluding that warming is at least partly caused by rising concentrations of smokestack and tail-pipe emissions and could threaten health and ecosystems." -New York Times, click here for article

It is no longer a debate!! Climate change is happening and if you read the news everyday like I do, then you will see the effect on the environment that is changing everyday. Bears aren't going into hibernation, dead zones in the water are growing larger, birds are dying by the thousands and nobody knows why, the arctic sea will soon be completly gone allowing for ships to sail across the north pole for the first time since before the last ice age! This summer, with el nino around, the records are predicted to be off the chart in terms of heat waves and the likes.
