Reading "Let's talk about climate change" this morning ( April 11, 2014) in the LETTERS page of the National Post which reveals that 26 university professors were recently disappointed when their offer of research services to the NEB were rejected, I was pleased by the NEB's decision to protect our tax dollars.
Let's face it, the good professors were applying for paid employment which is funded by us. Their applications were self-serving and based on their professional support of the reports published by the IPPC alleging man's CO2 production as threatening future global Armageddon.
I, like many other taxpayers, view the IPPC as a political organization with a predominantly political agenda rather than a credible scientific organization that presents un-spun, unvarnished scientific facts concerning man's role in climate change. For this reason, as a taxpayer, I am pleased that the NEB has denied employment to these professors on my nickel.
However, I am led to believe that that are still many people who believe the IPPC reports which means that there is likely a paying market for research services in this domain. I am proposing, therefore, that these 26 professors take the entrepreneurial route and form a private-sector (aka for-profit, or not-for-profit) research consortium which will raise its funding from donations (subscriptions) from true IPPC believers.
After all, if churches can thrive on donations from religious believers, why can this not also be true for this proposed consortium - one that will exist to serve the interests of the communities of IPPC true believers?
This "put your money where your mouth is" proposal will get non-believers off the tax hook and enable true believers to tithe to their hearts content. Win-win!
