Climate Skeptic, Koch-Funded Scientist Richard Muller Admits Global Warming Real & Humans the Cause

After years of denying global warming, physicist Richard Muller now says "global warming is real and humans are almost entirely the cause." The admission by Muller, a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley, and founder of the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project, has gained additional attention because some of his research has been funded by Charles Koch of the Koch brothers, the right-wing billionaire known for funding climate skeptic groups like the Heartland Institute. "We could make the scientific case more solidly than had been made in the past," Muller claims. "I think this does say we do need to take action, we do need to do something about it."

Every human being should see this..

Folks, this is a prime example of a government program that is run by SCIENTISTS, not politicians. Imagine if we started listening to them just a little bit, to throw out the parts that don't work in favor of what does to achieve our mission of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

The Universe is larger than you (or I) can possibly imagine. This flash web app will give you an inkling of a clue how your own assumptions are flawed. Not only does this interactive app go to the furthest reaches, it also goes all the way down to the smallest. Come take the plunge. (the water's fine).

Although one could argue some of his points, methinks he pretty much hit it on the head.
