Pat Michaels admits: '40 percent' of funding comes from big oil.

OK, and the IPCC is 100% founded by the people who tell them what to find out.

Now what?

[derekatya96]

@trzajec - do you have ANY evidence of that?

[maityouwhat]

His body language says it all. Thank you, Fareed. Science will prevail. Hopefully.

Good job.

You know damn well it's over 50% and you know that he is 100% full of shit.

Why in the fuck anyone who wasn't getting paid say global warming is not happening. That is what I don't understand about so many who post about climate change on you tube. It's in your best interest to have clean air, don't you think?

Are you getting paid and if you are, who is doing the hiring? If the world is going to shit, might as well get PAID, right? That is good old capitalist think.

The Cato Institute in Washington DC is a complete fraud. I smelled a rat back in 2007 when these guys went out of their way to discredit Ron Paul and refused to endorse him but now the truth is revealed. Also note, what a fraud this CNN "debate" really is. The only sincere person sitting at this table is the guy not wearing a suit because he's probably gullible enough to actually believe what the IPCC has forced fed him over the years. What can you expect though from the CFR new network!!!

@libertybelle2027 : You are completely retarded to belive the position of people like him funded by big oil. So is Ron Paul for the same reason.

[MrHicks091]

Well all he was doing was giving an estimate-it's most likely *above* 50%. What this proves, though, is that he gets a substantial amount of money from the fossil fuel industry-which makes his anti GHG abatement views extremely suspicious.

[lumajs]

If he's only 40% funded by the oil industry, 40% is still less than 50%, so he is still mostly funded by the non-oil industry, so he may still be biased against the oil industry. ;-)

I don't know... 40??? I don't know. ***FOURTY PERCENT???*** AND YOU DON'T KNOW?? If that isn't proof for dishonesty...
