"Man-made global warming" hoaxsters learn from "secondhand smoke kills" activist liars

The bogus "science" of man-made global warming has common thread with groups that promote the bogus "science" that secondhand smoke kills.

Excerpt:

...not content with having lied to us about shrinking glaciers, increasing hurricanes, and rising sea levels, the IPCC’s latest assessment report also told us a complete load of porkies about the danger posed by climate change to the Amazon rainforest....

.....It gets even better. The two expert authors of the WWF report so casually cited by the IPCC as part of its, ahem, “robust” “peer-reviewed” process weren’t even Amazon specialists. One, Dr PF Moore, is a policy analyst....And the lead author Andy Rowell is a freelance journalist (for the Guardian, natch) and green activist:
Andy Rowell is a freelance writer and Investigative journalist with over 12 years’ experience on environmental, food, health and globalization issues. Rowell has undertaken cutting-edge investigations for, amongst others, Action on Smoking and Health, The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids...

Global warming hoaxsters learned from smoking ban activists that repeating lies while claiming "peer reviewed" studies is a multi-billion dollar profitable scam that few would question.

The profit in smoking bans finds its way to companies like Johnson & Johnson which manufactures Nicoderm, Nicoderm CQ, and owns Nicotrol, Nicorette, Commit, etc. To that end, J & J's partner, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), has provided $446 million+ to groups like Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids (ASH is signing member), AMA, ALA, ACS, AHA, etc. to lobby lawmakers for implementation of smoking bans.

Meanwhile, the profit in promoting man-made global warming comes from government grants, carbon tax credits, etc. etc. These massive profits make it very worthwhile to continue promoting the scam.....but isn't that the very same reasoning a common criminal uses to justify his/her nefarious livelihood?
