What percentage of global warming deniers are actually shills from Koch Industries?

December 9th, 2009 | by admin |

We know Koch Industries funds astroturf movements through Americans for Prosperity, I just wonder what percentage of the deniers they fund?
Hint… A lot of deniers read this question and soiled themselves.

I’ll answer the question. I would say that it’s probably around 10% (I doubt it would be any more than that), at least from what I’ve seen. The thing is that any given denier who publishes via blog or forum may actually be paid to write what they’re writing and have no further concern in the matter. I believe this for the simple reason that many deniers here cite blogs as their source, or articles on right-wing forums. So the answers here are not necessarily coming from shills so much as the deniers’ sources for those answers are.

    I would be more skeptical of the so called experts.
    Why do the global warming crowd scream so loud, and hotly deny anybody who even questions their methedology?
    Why are we not told about how they base their conclusions?
    What methods do they use to make such conclusions?
    What makes them purveyors of the one great truth?
    Who funds them, and what is their agenda of their benefactors?
    The IPCC, the big UN global warming group, can you name even ONE of their members?
    Why are none of these experts named, what are they hiding?

    Remember this, it was the same so called experts, that, 35-40 years ago, were all in agreement, the next ice age was just around the corner. Remember that, before you blindly follow this new generation of Pied Pipers.

    Holocaust Deniers have the same complaint you have.

    EDIT

    You are asking us to "remember" something that never occurred.

    I am a denier and I deny man is driving the climate change because we are still exiting form a period called the Little Ice Age and we still are no where near the temperatures during the Medieval Warming Period.

    Man is adding a little to this round of heating up but we are far from driving it. It is sad when the "climate scientists" have to manipulate data, destroy data, and shout down any one who don’t believe what they do.

    As for being on the pay roll of Koch Industries, I would say almost no one on this site is on their payroll.

    For the people who complain about deniers using blogs, I know of a bunch of AGW supporters that use wiki and blogs as their main source of support.
