Google's lobbyists go big on climate change denial, raise money for Inhofe & Competitive Enterprise Insitute

A) Your usage of ‘denier’ is incorrect and refers to thickness/weight of certain fabrics. Obviously this misuse diminishes your argument somewhat, as it begs the question ‘what else don’t you grasp?’.

¹Denier, n. One who denies (first known use 15th century)
²Denier, n. 1. A small originally silver coin formerly used in western Europe; 2. A unit of fineness for yarn equal to the fineness of a yarn weighing one gram for each 9000 meters (first known use 15th century)

So, no. And you’d think someone who uses “begs the question” to mean raising a question would accept how words are actually used instead of trying to be pedantic about them, but apparently irony is mandatory.

B) There is no statement in my original post which tries to establish that scientists are in it for the money.

You know we can see what you wrote, right? A large body of scientists, including nearly everyone who specializes in climate science, has been propagating the existence of anthropogenic global warming, and yet:

@synthnseq

Man Made Up Global Warming is a myth, propagated by those who have interests/ulterior motives, almost guaranteed to be fiscal, like the perpetuation of ridiculous so called ‘green’ energies such as wind turbines.

So are we done here, or do you feel the need to back-peddle more?
