OT: Koch Industries and Global Warming
Hawke
ranked as high as the top ten in the country. He's the owner of Koch
Industries, which is the second largest privately held company in the
U.S., Koch Industries produces energy, mainly coal.
He's also the man behind almost all the anti global warming
disinformation you hear. He's spent more than 50 million dollars over
the past 10 years funding nearly 40 different groups that produce anti
global warming "information". That's why it seems like the global
warming deniers appear to be coming from so many different sources. They
are. But they are all getting their financial backing from the same
place, Koch Industries.
When you try to track down actual experts on climate science who don't
believe global warming is a fact it turns out that finding them is darn
near impossible. Of the real climate scientists, they are virtually
unanimous in their belief in global warming. The "scientists" who deny
global warming turn out in nearly every case not to be experts on
climate but are trained in completely different fields, and they are
supported by funders like Koch Industries. So next time you hear someone
denying that global warming exists. Check them out and in the end you
will most likely find they are bought and paid for by Koch Industries.
And that what Koch Industries is doing is exactly the same thing the
tobacco companies did when they denied tobacco was addictive.
