“Twenty-five billion dollars in government funding has been spent since 1990 to research global warming. If scientists and researchers were coming out releasing reports that global warming has little to do with man, and most to do with just how the planet works, there wouldn’t be as much money to study it.”

-Harvard astrophysicist Sallie Baliunas, as quoted by John Stossel, in a column carried by the Manchester Union Leader and other papers

I’m sure the Center for Media and Democracy’s SourceWatch and the other watchdog websites are all over this. 25 billion dollars can buy a lot of corruption.
