And yet the AGW church members can not post the datasets and source code that link CO2 to driving the climate.
When you sum it all up it isn`t really about CO2 as much as it is about being anti-oil and the entire technology that spawned from the fossil fuel based industry.
CO2 is just the latest gimmick the same red neo-communists/ now called "greens" use to preach the "benefits" of their pitiful farmer mentality communal system to the rest of us....and do so as a last ditch effort to villainize our free enterprise system which allowed technology to flourish.
It took less than 5 years of "cold war" to make it obvious that our free enterprise technology which maximized the use of all our resources will win, while our nemesis had trouble feeding and supplying the needs of their unfortunate subjects.
Just how important oil was could be observed during WW2. But it continues to be of prime strategic importance, much more than the proverbial "for want of a nail"...if you don`t have it or don`t use it.
Were it not for oil much of the technology we do have would not even exist.
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Oil is more than just a fuel, but it was the need for fuel that paid for oil-exploration.
Now we got materials that would never exist if we had not exploited this resource.
The stupidity of the anti-oil sentiment crowd is puzzling to say the least.
They rant as if all the "oil money" is being sucked up by some evil corporations who then sit on that money.
Fact is that this is the same money that financed the entire petro- chemical research sector, which includes everything from plastics to pharmaceuticals.
Government funding had dick all to do with it ! They were just a consumer/customer and benefited from oil just like the rest of us.
Were it not for oil we`ld still be carving with wood and pulling with oxens.
Nobody in the oil industry lobbies against energy research or any other research. Matter of fact it always was and still is this industrial branch that contributes the most.
There is no way a few weirdos who count tree rings will be able to pull off their idiotic IPCC AGW stunts and shut down oil exploration/use on a world wide scale.
