Nah, you still love ExxonMobil. That iPod was made with LOTS of oil.

LOL - seriously, this is the response? I don't find it logical at all to claim I would come on this board and lie about knowing him in order to sound more credible among other anonymous users on an internet board.

The CRU sought out funding from Shell. The difference of course is shell is heavily invested in renewables. So what's your point?

Actually, it's perfectly logical. In order to make your claim seem more legitimate to others on C/D (it's safe to assume that you're pro-AGW), you could say that you "know" Dr. Gray and you "know" his work. Then, you can craft your confirmation bias on your supposed knowledge of his work to try to convince others that his problem is merely his intellectual laziness rather than a legitimate protest against the religious oppression of AGW.

Just to add they sought out and received funding from a plethora of renewable energy counties some of them even here in the US.

That doesn't count. The neo-progs only care that he sought funding from EM.

Why so many silly posts in here?

Most of us know that the processs of refining oil produces products from that process that are used in the production of many other things. Plastics is the most obvioius.

We also know oil and other fossil fuels are finite. If I'm stuck in a car in a blizzard with one sleeve of crackers do I eat the entire sleeve the first night and pray someone will dig me out the next day, or do I budget the small amount of food to prepare that I may not be found the next day?

We have oil, and we have coal. Both have problems and both cause damage to the environement in each stage of the process of getting it into a form that we can use. Do we continue to overuse that product when we could budget it since it's finite and does cause so much damage? In the process of budgeting the fossil fuels we should be jumping in on a massive research and development of less damaging sources of energy.
