Your "50%" are not scientists and have never published any research papers in any scientific journals. They are typically employees of PR firms and their "research" is funded by the oil industry.

One example of this sort of propoganda is this website:

http://globalwarming.org/

From its name, you would think this is a good source for information on global warming. Then look here:

http://www.globalwarming.org/store.htm

Of course they sell a bunch of propoganda books with titles like "Global Warming and Other Eco-Mythss", "The Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World" , "Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media", etc.

Who runs this website? A group called the Cooler Heads Coalition. The chairman of this group is a guy named Myron Ebell. Mr. Ebell is also the Director of Global Warming and International Environmental Policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. And who are they? They claim to be a non-profit consumer group. But their 2 largest donors, by far, are Exxon/Mobil and the American Petroleum Institute.

So that is who is paying for your "science".

If you like that sort of "science", perhaps you should have the American Dairy Association and the American Meat Institute do research for you on how to lower your cholesterol.
