Foreign governments spend billions more.
Many millions are frittered away by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and assorted international bureaucrats. If all of that money, and all of that manpower, can't make a case for global warming, maybe there's a reason. Maybe there isn't much of a case to be made. Still, environmental activists and their allies in government think they can keep their agenda on course by taking frequent pot-shots at scientists who insist on pointing out the obvious. The allegations, at this point, are a bit shopworn, but this time at least the author is interesting.
