Those passionately trying to tell us about climate change are mostly reputable scientists. Maybe a few have had scandals or problems in their past, but the vast majority are simply honest scientists.
Conversely, Philip Morris has a record of spin and lies going back at least 40 years. I find it very difficult to believe a word they say.

Mike, the anthropogenic global warming predictions are ALL based on computer models that are constantly tweaked because of inconvenient problems with the data.
The worst of the models predict a one degree per CENTURY temperature change.
Any real world changes in excess of ONE DEGREE PER CENTURY are due to natural causes.
Instrumentation available cannot detect one one-hundredth of a degree per year. That’s 0,01 degree per year.
Reputable scientists are only interested in the truth. So, when a reputable scientist postulates a theory, he or she will try EVERYTHING to DISPROVE his or her own theory, so that the theory will be able to withstand all and any challenges.
Instead the so-called climate scientists are pulling stunts to PROTECT their theories. Such as refusing to provide the computer coding in the case of the “hockey stick” theory, which has been disproved.
Reputable scientists will do anything to cooperate with dissenters because reputable scientists want their results to be duplicated over and over by anyone interested in the topic.
That’s not happening. Instead, the dissenters are having THEIR motives challenged.
So, there is no way that the climate model people could, by any stretch of the imagination, be called reputable.
And bringing in Exxon Mobil or Philip Morris adds absolutely nothing to the science. Serves no purpose whatsoever.
Science is not about passion.
Science is about boringly performing test after test after test. To continue to prove or disprove a theory.
All the computer models come with disclaimers.
That ain’t science.
