Scientific theory is all well and good -- but things tend to get

So, on that basis you can wave away the scientific consensus on the subject?
Why bother doing any science at all?


In the case of climate change, the dollars at risk are so huge --
almost inconceivably large -- that it's hard to find a scientist who
hasn't been bought and sold by one side of the debate or the other.

That would certainly apply to the few climate scientists who work for the
energy companies. Who "buys and sells" the rest of the scientists in the
world?


I'm no scientist -- I'm a businessman.

Same here. That doesn't stop me from studying the subject carefully.

As such, I can smell a "deal"
when it is at work -- and IMHO "global warming" research has been
overwhelmingly tainted by the titanic sums of money that are at risk
on both sides of the issue.

Do you use a lawn mower to wax the floor? Why use business knowledge to
judge a scientific subject? Why not find out how science really works?

"Gut feeling"

Intestinologists concur that the human gut does not contain any
rational thoughts.

What the human gut *is* full of is moderately well
known.
