The issue of Global warming is political if anyone still has not figured that out. The climate of the world has changed as a result of plate tectonics (continental drift), volcanic gases spewed into the atmosphere, etc. for eons. There were tropical swamps in Wyoming. There are fossils of reptiles in Antactica. Of course, the academic community does not want to discount the creation of a myth if it is created by those who fund their research. And that is being pragmatic!!!
My sentiments exactly Ron. In Australia the scientific community is not that well paid and have to seek out funding for their projects and tend to go from one source of funding to another. The government money being thrown at them for research on climate change has been a massive boost to them.
I dealt with research all my working life that drug reps flaunted that always favoured the new drug they were peddling and was unkind to the oppositions product yet the opposition could produce similar research saying how good their product was. This showed me that depending on who was paying the bills research could be slanted their way.
