OK, I give up. All I find are some comments about national security
and how the military needs to be prepared. Please provide a link.
Make sure there are contextual quotes please - not some Fox News
digestion.

Anyway, it is still irrelevant - and by the way, like I said, until
the oil companies got involved, none of those so-called "qualified
experts" came out of the woodwork and said it was a hoax. Many
scientists, both ostensibly liberal and conservative, were beginning
to reach consensus. It was the alarms at the oil companies that put
their shills on the payroll to say anything they could...and virtually
everything they have said has now been number crunched to death. We
don't need to hear the same tired crap over and over again endlessly
for a whole new audience of minions to get riled about. Honest
skeptics are still welcome in the scientific debate, and honest
opposing evidence is still taken very seriously.

After all this is done, I refuse to talk about anything else except
the honest science...because none of the rest of this gibberish
matters, and is a waste of time.
