That other scientists in other fields haven't been politicized has nothing to do with the current situation.

If the "scientific community" feels any of the big players are slanting their research, for any reason, they will be ostracized by the other scientists.

Unless they understand and are under the same pressures.

And using your logic, do you think public instituions have more money

Hell yeah.

or more of a reason to slant research than the oil and coal companies?

Yes if the public institutions are headed by the believers ... as they are.

And as mentioned common sense wold tell you if there is only a 50% chance it is right, don't you think we should be going full speed ahead to find out and do something about it.

To find out, yes. Other no.

Remember when CO2 levels rose in the Permian age it wiped out 95% of all life on earth!

Man that CO2 is really poison. It gagged them to death huh? There h/b many mass extinctions in earths history but I've never heard of one caused by CO2.
