Yes, I am well aware of where their funding mostly comes from, and I take that into consideration when reading their opinions. Still, (despite the article's unfortunate recourse to what I would regard as a "straw man" attack, deliberately quoting from dated and trivial bits of 'science' so they can more easily seem to knock-down their arguments. Unfortunately using mostly items from 12 years ago or even older --- like the politician Gore's book --- that have been so obviously superceded by the vastly superior data scientists have available to them today, to attempt to represent the entirity of the global warming argument in a weak light); despite all this, overall I think this Heartland piece... despite it's funding from Big Oil... despite it's tricks of logic in selecting mostly the weakest of opposing evidence sources... despite all that, I still feel that it represents one of the better collections of arguments that I've run across in popular literature arguing for the proposition that 'Global warming' is not the gravest environmental problem facing the world today.
