Forbes????? Hmmmm I guess they dont have an agenda. Forbes represents business interests. Nothing wrong with that. However, they are hardly unbiased. I prefer primary sources and not ancdotle stories. Oh yeah, EVERY scientific organization in the world is falsifying data!
Primary sources? Mann would not reveal his data. Broke the first rule of ethical science.

Are you aware of the so-called "Hockey Stick"?? That's what got the "Global Warming Crisis". Nothing gets funding better than a nice crisis.
Global Warming. War on Drugs. No Child Left Behind. The New Deal. War on Poverty. Midnight Basketball. LOLZ History is replete with government-funded projects and programs to deal with manufactured crises.
