"Global warming research"

it costs the US about 2 billion per year (the same amount we give to Israel, but at least they use it to kill palestinians) to do this "research", most of it is politicised leftist guess-work about how humanity is horrible and destructive and how we should spend $100 trillion on Kyoto to lower the global temperature by 0.07C by 2050 (!).

However, I put low-income people before I put my concerns about the environment.
Given the potential results of ignoring the environment, I think you might want to reevaluate that a bit.

Consider what happened in New Orleans. Do you think it affected the upper crust much?
