Government monopsony distorts climate science, says SPPI

80 BILLION DOLLARS ON A SELF-SERVING GOVERNMENT RACKET TO JUSTIFY THE LARGEST EXPANSION OF GOVERNMENT CONTROL AND TAXATION IN WORLD HISTORY. How much longer are we, as a nation, going to continue to play into this con game?

Government monopsony distorts climate science, says SPPI: "The US Government has spent more than $79 billion of taxpayers’ money since 1989 on policies related to climate change, including science and technology research, administration, propaganda campaigns, foreign aid, and tax breaks. Most of this spending was unnecessary."

One more noteworthy point ...
"Exxon-Mobil Corp is repeatedly attacked for paying just $23 million to skeptics—less than a thousandth of what the US government spends on alarmists, and less than one five-thousandth of the value of carbon trading in 2008 alone."
