Newsweek Editor Calls Warming 'Deniers' Article 'Highly Contrived'

Proponents of man-made global warming have been funded to the tune of $50 BILLION in the last decade or so, while skeptics have received a paltry $19 MILLION. A
contributing editor of Newsweek, slapped down the Magazine for what he
termed a "highly contrived story" about the global warming "denial machine"
“In one of the more expensive
ironies of history, the expenditure of more than $US50 billion on
research into global warming since 1990 has failed to demonstrate any
human-caused climate trend, let alone a dangerous one.”
[Note: The U.S. alone has spent $30 billion on federal programs
directly or indirectly related to global warming in just the last six
years, according to one estimate
($5.79 billion in 2006 alone) Adding to this total is funding from the
UN, foundations, universities, foreign governments, etc.  Even if you
factor in former Vice President Al Gore's unsubstantiated August 7,
2007 assertion that $10 million dollars a year flows into skeptical
organizations, any funding comparison between skeptics and warming
proponents still utterly fails.
