some scientists have an agenda of their own and will NEVER admit to a mistake

@lpthehermit I'm sure SOME scientists do. But not 99.9% of them.
@lpthehermit The US oil industry makes about $110 billion per year; coal another $20 billion. Big Oil spends $3.6 billion per year on advertising; a sum equal to about 8X the whole NSF climate budget. You're not naive enough to believe none of that money goes to propaganda, are you?
