How can you be so sure that each and every one of those articles are not fabricated in one way or another? It's in scientist's best interest to proclaim, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling" in order to acquire more funding. It is not fact until it has been proven. Again, it is not fact until it is proven. Science.

Yea thats right, Governments are actually interested in funding research thats going to cost them millions in the long run.Thats not forgetting the application of profit, and financial bias, to ANY OTHER ORGANISATION involded with this issue.

-- Not too many Scientific Organisations or Universities in this list.

 

Are you actually serious with your statement that governments don't like to waste money? Anyway, it's about getting MORE money for their coffers. This is about a massive global redistribution of wealth, and it always has been. Also, of course corporations are applying for the ability to profit from this. Haven't you ever heard of the old snake oil salesman on a soapbox?
