A fraction as fat as if she wrote dissentions.
there isnt a lot of money in it. On the other hand if you look at willie soon - whos a major contrarian - hes killing it

Probably not as fat as this guys:
83million dollar spend to influence an election, but yeah, those climatologists earning 70k a year are the problem.

I'm sorry, if you want any sort of credibility, don't go quoting me "The Guardian"

And LOL, according to the article, $1.25M over 14 YEARS! That's barely more than the average wage these days. Poor guy. All those qualifications for that! May as well become an Electrician or clean shopping centres.

Except scientists have known about greenhouse gases and their effect on climate long before these two were even born. Climate change has been accurately modelled since before these two finished primary school.
Did theses two create the need to take action against climate change? No
Are they going to profit from it. Hell yeah. If we in this country continue to do nothing about it, we'll be paying a massive price to buy their carbon credits. We're on the wrong side of the ledger in this country and the longer we take to respond, the more costly it will become.

And likewise, we will be paying a massive price to avoid buying their carbon credits. Damned if you do. Damned if you don't. Sucks, doesn't it?
So, why do you keep supporting it?

The supposed "left" getting in behind the Bush's.
The world really HAS gone mad.
That was ONE of the grants.

NO. That was in total, from all organisations quoted in the article.
If we had kept the “carbon tax” our carbon would be cheaper priced than europeans and our farmers could be making a motza by restoring their salt blighted unfarmable land with tamarisk trees.
More in depth piece here:
Deeper Ties to Corporate Cash for Doubtful Climate Researcher (Published 2015)
Newly released documents show the extent of the links between corporate interests and the published work of Wei-Hock Soon, a Smithsonian-affiliated scientist who has tried to debunk the consensus about global warming.
Love this gem:
<<<Though often described on conservative news programs as a “Harvard astrophysicist,” Dr. Soon is not an astrophysicist and has never been employed by Harvard. He is a part-time employee of the Smithsonian Institution with a doctoral degree in aerospace engineering.>>>
Dont know how many times ive seen this guy put up as the denialists hero - an aerospace engineer....
Because, one way continues to damage the environment and the other way doesn't. If you disagree you should go and celebrate by sitting in your garage with your car running, or climb on top of a coal power station and breathing in the fresh air, or defiresting large areas of land.
One way leads to technological developments that the rest of the world will pay us for. The other way requires us to pay billions in subsidies to a non viable business model, for the benefit of a few multimillionaires.

I know right. Next he'll be quoting me something from the IPCC report.
I love how denialists quote pieces from dickheads like willie soon that are so on the gravy train - have zero qualifications in the field and we are expected to take them seriously - yet they write off the guardian.....

If you want to finger point denialists....
Please feel free to highlight a jurisdiction on the planet that has adopted a renewable energy strategy, that doesn’t rely upon hydro or nuclear, that delivers clean energy (14-70g CO2 per kWh).
Perhaps the belief of some doesn’t extend to believing facts?
You realise the act wilL be 100% renewables (wind and solar come oct 1) Dont you?
didnt have to look far
Source:
Australia’s capital to be first city outside Europe to transition to 100% renewables
ACT to become the first jurisdiction outside Europe to complete the switch from fossil fuel electricity to a grid powered completely by renewables.

In reality 90+% of canberra's energy is coal and gas.......that's 500g CO2 per kwh, so try again
The 100% renewables claim is fraudulent and really just clever accounting and shifting of clean energy certificates.
I’m surprised you were fooled by this......or is this not the case and you just perpetuate lies?
