Oh, those that make money in ways threatened by addressing of global
warming sure have a lot to lose and are putting money into generation of
data or "data" that we don't have a problem! For one example, I remember
something maybe about a decade ago by a major oil company saying how the
temperature has not significantly warmed at some level a few miles aloft,
which I expect to not warm up as much as the surface and lowest couple
miles of the atmosphere would as a result of adding "greenhouse gases".
