Right wingers offer bribes to dispute global warming

An ultra-conservative Washington think tank with direct ties to the Bush Administration is offering a $10,000 bribe to any scientist or economist who will dispute a global warming report released today by the United Nation’s top scientific panel.

pba, this is a pretty sick example of propoganda. AEI said they were offering PAYMENT. Capitol Hill Blue stepped across the line Calling "Payment" a "Bribe." The implicaton of the word bribe is that a nefarious purpose will be served. Payment implies that a job, done to specification, will be conpensated.
I agree with both you and Capitol Hill Blue that there is NO LEGITIMATE SCIENCE THAT DEBUNKS HUMAN INTERVENTION IS AT WORK IN GLOBAL WARMING.
But to say that payment for finding that legitimate evidence is bribery only says that Capitol Hill Blue (and you, by quoting them) are opposed to the discovery of any possible evidence that global warming is BEYOND human capability or culpability.
The Report should have read, An ultra-conservative Washington think tank with direct ties to the Bush Administration is offering a $10,000 Payment(not bribe) to any scientist or economist who will dispute a global warming report released today by the United Nation’s top scientific panel.
