    ^^ I don't know, but then I consider the extreme denialists like Mojo irrelevant. Big money, on the other hand, matters a lot when it comes to public policy.

    Funny how environmentalists are willing to bend over and take it in the nice person like choir boys.(mojo is an environmentalist BTW)
    Gets them hot just mentioning the Pope.

    Follow the money.
    Big money =Bloomberg =Charles Schultz =Hank Paulson =Goldman Sachs+ Morgan Stanley

    Global warming legislation was started in the USA by Enron Ken Lay.
    He brought ClintonGore to sign Kyoto.
    Any idiot except DR SAGEBRUSH ,knows big business is out to screw the world with CO2 legislation.
    No wonder doctors cant diagnose a damn thing.
    Med schools only accept those who have the ability to rote memorize.
    But no ability to actually think and diagnose.

    I don't follow financial publications. My only criticism is they did not bring the data to current, 2014-2015. Some of their graphs stopped early.

    And, in another 'big business' data point,
    Bill Gates directs his charity to invest $2B in renewable energy.

    His perspective is interesting. While he obviously understands the threat of AGW, he thinks that alternative energy still needs to be jump started in order to reach a price point that keeps fossil fuels in the ground. Unfortunately I think he has a point since there is no political will to close down the fossil fuel plants already in existence.

    In a few years the Repukes will explain to us how the 'free market' lead us to alternative clean energy, and they will forget or ignore all the forward thinking people of today -- from Prius owners to President Obama to Bill Gates -- who laid the groundwork for the eventual economic superiority of clean energy years before the morons of the world even began to recognize the externalities.
