I don't really know a lot about the Royal Society. It doesn't really matter either, as I am talking to you, not them. I suspect though, the the RS are actually doing proper research on specific articles and coming up with informed opinions, unlike you with your if-its-funded-by-oil-companies-its-compromised line. That's nothing but stereotyping and libel.

so tell me what they might achieve in promoting the idea that co2 emissions are causing climate change?
the premise is a false one unless you accept that scientists are promoting the idea of climate change for the sake of it. what could their ulterior motive be? if wind farms inc were paying maybe. like i say we are talking about the royal society which is expressing concern, in an unprecedented manner, about the actions of the oil companies which it believes is trying to undermine the pretty consensual scientific evidence about climate change.

Motivation? How about punishing the successful (aka rich), something most people on the left like to do. People who are more successful, use more resources, which means more waste products and pollution. There are loads of others, like money, and recruits who might support other supplement agendas like animal research. It doesn't really matter what motivation, whether its to curb emissions or help oil sales. The whole point of having an agenda is that they can enforce it on others. That's the difference between an agenda and an opinion. An agenda means you have some objective to be achieved. People on all sides of the political spectrum can have an agenda, not just oil companies.
Anyway, since you're ignoring half of what I say, and twisting the other half out of context, I don't suppose this discussion will go anywhere.
Although, can you justfy inpuning the reputation of thousands of scientists without any research or knowlege of their reports? If I was one of the aforementioned scientists, id be quite disgusted at your remark. Don't suppose you are going to throw out your Noam Chomsky books are you?
