Dear Gene, Come on Gene you know better than this! I always new that you did not
beleive that land based sources of pollution or nutrients were a large factor
that killed the FL reefs. But this posting! Are you serious? For goodness sake
this is an
ultra-rightwing conservative think-tank. Pat Robertson also has a similar
page/website spewing the same trash. Please Follow the trail of money:

 The Center for Science-Based Public Policy has received millions from
ExxonMobil
 since 1998.


 Between 1998 and 2005: ExxonMobil Grants $16 Million to Global Warming Skeptic
 Organizations

 ExxonMobil disperses roughly $16 million to organizations that are challenging
 the scientific consensus view that greenhouse gases are causing global warming.
 For many of the organizations, ExxonMobil is their single largest corporate
 donor, often providing more than 10 percent of their annual budgets. A study by
 the Union of Concerned Scientists will find that “[v]irtually all of them
 publish and publicize the work of a nearly identical group of spokespeople,
 including scientists who misrepresent peer-reviewed climate findings and
 confuse the public’s understanding of global warming. Most of these
 organizations also include these same individuals as board members or
 scientific advisers.” After the Bush administration withdraws from the Kyoto
 Protocol (see March 27, 2001), the oil company steps up its support for these
 organizations.
