"bought and paid for" - you're lying. There are reputable, independent scientists who challenge the anthropogenic global warming dogma, and to call them "bought" is a slander.
No climate scientist has managed to put together a climate model which successfully predicts the past, therefore none of them can be taken as reliable guides to the future.
There is significant evidence that there has been warming, but the best explanation so far has been solar variation (human CO2 emissions don't explain warming on Mars or other planets which have tracked warming on earth in recent years).
Using the precautionary principle, we should not embark on a program which will result in easily-predicatable and fairly damaging economic dislocation when the benefits are unproven and unpredictable. Our subsidies for ethanol (which has a small impact on CO2 emissions) have already caused significant hunger worldwide.
