Steven Milloy

Here is a guy that makes sense in a society gripped by global warming hysteria:

Steven Milloy is a biostatistician, lawyer, adjunct scholar at the
Cato Institute and publisher of JunkScience.com where the motto is: “All the junk that’s fit to debunk”, as well as CSRWatch.com. Steven Milloy is an advocate of free enterprise and an adjunct scholar at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Milloy holds a B.A. in Natural Sciences from the Johns Hopkins University, a Master of Health Sciences in Biostatistics from the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health, a Juris Doctorate from the University of Baltimore, and a Master of Laws from the Georgetown University Law Center.

Read Steven's
latest article to get a interesting perspective on the reason large corporations and big money are jumping on the global warming band wagon:

Wall Street firms such as Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers and Morgan Stanley want Congress to establish a so-called cap-and-trade system so that they can profit from the trading of greenhouse gas emissions permits.


Industrial giants such as Dupont and Alcoa want Congress to give them “carbon credits” — essentially free money — for greenhouse gas emissions reductions already undertaken. Solar and wind energy firms, as well as the ethanol lobby, want Congress to award them subsidies and tax breaks.


All the new climate piggies that want to gorge themselves at the public trough have crowded out the environmentalists, transforming the global warming issue from an ostensibly serious save-the-planet crusade into a financial orgy complete with taxpayer piƱata.


Here is a full archive of Milloy's articles.
