>I believe you are correct. The whole global warming argument, IMHO, is being pushed by the scientific community for the purpose of driving their studies. Funding is what it's all about. This is why it was global cooling in the 70's and now it's global warming. The real problem they should be tackling is the affects of dihydrous monoxide (DHMO) on the earth. Bush's administration has deemed it safe, yet it is wreaking havoc on our planet. It's being used by all of the fortune 500 corporations in America. It's the most destructive thing known to man. It has killed thousands of people, yet no one has done anything about it.

Hehe, there have been quite a lot of versions of this joke. (For those who don't know "dihydrous monoxide", its molecules are made up of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen).
