The comment was made in refuting my assertions:


"You have it here reliable source from NASA climate about sea level rise, it is not 1mm but 3.3 mm. 1mm was before 1900 year. https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/sea-level/ Also you have huge fossil fuel lobby interest and funding for faking climate science and to saw distrust and denial into climate science and climate scientists. Just put it on paper how much you pay every month for heating in winter, transportation and electricity, almost all comes from burning coal, oil and gas, 85% of it."


 It is a common accusation the fuel lobby is behind the rise of skepticism of "Climate science." It is tempting to believe that. However, quite frankly there is no evidence of this. The fuel lobby won't touch this with a 10 foot pole. There is no money trail, there is no convictions, in fact there is no accusation because it isn't happening. Examine the lives of the skeptics. They aren't multimillionaires like Al Gore or Michael Mann. They typically are poor threadbare scientists who are calling for a return to the data, and a return to skepticism. The money is entirely on the side of the AGW. For you to suggest the money is anywhere else discloses just how deluded you really are by this movement. If power and money corrupts absolutely, follow the money. There you will find the corruption. There is no money on the side of the skeptics. To be a skeptic means repudiation. To be a skeptic means you will never get a whiff of any grant money. No, compare the sides of this debate. If you want a lucrative career, become a climate scientist. No other field of science is more lucrative. Repeat the words "Climate Change" and become instantly credible. There is virtually no critical analysis of this. Al Gore uses those magic words and proclaims the polar ice caps will melt by 2012 and he is forgiven, no he is heralded as a popular hero. Others use those magic words, and the supposedly the all the glaciers have vanished. Others use those magic words and half of Florida is gone by now. Others use those magic words and the snowfall on the northern hemisphere has vanished for the winter. It might as well be Abracadabra in the days of Shakespear, Copernicus, Galileo, Michelangelo, Pascal, and Newton. All the money, all the power, and all the corruption was on the side of the status quo, not on the side of the true scientists that have changed the world by their integrity and skepticism and truth.


Also, to be precise, and in full disclosure, 100% of my electricity comes from a hydro dam about 20 minutes of my house. I heat my house with natural gas: Supposedly one of the least carbon intensive footprints. However, to engage in this presupposes that climate data for the past 10 years hasn't radically departed from the exponential increases of CO2 in the atmosphere. In 10 years, when the world is in the grips of a mini-ice age, and this foolishness is fully exposed. They will ask, where were you when they said CO2 caused global warming? My answer will be that I was saying show me the unadulterated data!
