"Twenty-five billion dollars in government funding has been spent since 1990 to research global warming," Baliunas said, explaining that governments raise money by generating fear.

Despite ground-breaking agreements being signed, conferences convened and revolutionary ideas propounded ad nauseam, the highfalutin messages somehow fail to translate well into our daily lives, where it really matters.
