Interesting how you "know" that " The research that doesn't is
usually tied to oil companies", yet you don't seem to know who is
paying for the "The consensus of research supports global warming"


I spent a whole year researching the topic when it was the intercollegiate
debate topic. As DiverDan's earlier post pointed out, the vast majority of
related scientists have agreed that the link is overwhelming. Research
supporting the link comes from a variety of sources, mainly regular funding
sources drawn from institutional basic research budgets. The research denying
the links is primarily funded by oil companies.

By the way, few of the nation's best intercollegiate debaters could defend the
negative research. Wake Forest won a national championship defending the
quality of the research supporting the link.

When you examine all the studies, it's a fairly one-sided issue. But not if you
rely on Rush Limbaugh to interpret scientific studies!

Though I understand that his pharmacological research credentials are
outstanding!
