And two thirds of all global warming is done by just 90 companies, very large companies that generate huge amounts of wealth.

This really is the tobacco lobby versus science again. And many of the lobbyists are the same ones who worked for the tobacco lobby. I happen to think that the scientific community was right about lung cancer - and their work was largely funded with government grants. Do I absolutely trust government?
