Sure there is.  It's our tax dollars.  Politicians provide research grants 
to educational facilities, assuming of course they can dig up "facts" to 
support the desired conclusions.  Of course these studies show global 
warming is a fact!  And it's cow farts doing it!  Keep that grant money 
flowing please sir, thank you very much!

The pro global warming lobbying is all about scare tactics, and fighting 
"big business."  How can we honestly say we are changing the climate of 
the planet, when we have only been keeping track of global temperatures 
for _maybe_ 100 years?!?  Perhaps there's a cyclic thing going on here 
we're ignorant of?

Supposedly, my great great grandfather once drove his old Ford Model T 
car across a frozen Lake Mineral Wells.  This have never happened in MY 
lifetime.  I believe this planet has a much stronger grasp of it's climate 
than we can ever hope to acheive.  It's pretty much self-correcting, and 
the little "gnats" called humans have absolutely no measurable influence.
