Those with money who don't like the science party line of the day, are
likely to create affiliations out of whole cloth, and fund counter-science.


In the global warming department, you'll find the Hoover Institute with
funding from Scaife, pushing back against the UCSD Scripps Institution of
Oceanography and National Geographic, for example.  

At least that's my current birds eye view, which may be inaccurate, since
global warming is only a peripheral vision thing for me at the moment --
right out there with OWL, DAML and RDF.

In any case, that's an alternative to ranting as an unaffiliated being.
Either make some new friends, or, failing that, buy some.
