More blatant climate hoax promotion from the Thomson Reuters Corporation, owners of both Reuters and Point Carbon

Why doesn't whistleblowing hero Andy Revkin write about this conflict of interest? If Thomson Reuters stands to make a lot of money from the climate hoax, how can we trust them to give us unbiased coverage on this issue?

If we can trust Reuters in this situation, do we still have to ignore any climate realist who's ever filled up at a BP gas station?

Analysis: Economy, public seen key to climate [scam] | Reuters
(Reuters) - Wider public unease about climate change and stronger economic growth are likely to be needed to revive sluggish U.N. talks after hopes for quick agreement on a treaty have fizzled, experts say.
...
"Public awareness is really going to be the key," to spur a deal to avert heatwaves, droughts, floods and rising seas, said Rajendra Pachauri, head of the U.N. panel of climate scientists.

He told the Reuters Global Energy and Climate Summit that he believed many people, including in the United States, were "gradually getting more concerned about the realities of climate change," partly because of extreme weather.
...
Some experts say that action may have to wait for the next U.N. report on climate science, due in 2013-14 by Pachauri's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
....
"The last IPCC report has probably exhausted its driving force," said Elliot Diringer, of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, a Washington think-tank.

"Many people are looking for the next report. We need the global economy to continue to improve as well," he said. "And I do think there is a growing sense that something is amiss with the weather."

I did not know that Reuters and Point Carbon were related. That might explain why Reuters reports are soooo biased toward anthropogenic climate change. Reuters is absolutly the worst in this regard, and now I think I know why.

It gets worse. Sir Crispin Tickell, the "Godfather of Climate Change," is on the board of Thomson [Reuters] Trust. If you don't know who he is, google away.

Here's the board:
