Global Warming, and a Love of Feel-Good Data.( Cheney's Fund Manager)
This is an interesting article that I stumbled across while surfing this morning, thought that a few on DC would find it interesting as well.
<<"Successive U.S. administrations have taken little interest in either oil substitution or climate change," he writes, "and the current one has even seemed to have a vested interest in the idea that the science of climate change is uncertain.">>
<<Yet "there is now nearly universal scientific agreement that fossil fuel use is causing a rise in global temperatures," he writes. "The U.S. is the only country in which environmental data is steadily attacked in a well-funded campaign of disinformation (funded mainly by one large oil company)."
That's Exxon Mobil (XOM) .>>
<<But he calls corn-based ethanol "more or less a hoax" when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. "U.S. corn-based ethanol, as opposed to efficient, Brazilian sugar-based ethanol, is merely another U.S. farmer-protection program, made very expensive both directly and indirectly by inflating real agricultural prices.">>
Heres the link that I forgot to add.:%
