Is that significant? Well, yes: A handful of scientists, including Hansen, have gotten wealthy on climate alarmism. They have an enormous financial interest in the <em>faux<\/em> science they have done so much to perpetrate.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>Mr. Hinderaker points out that being a global-warming alarmist can be very profitable. The federal grants go to the people who claim that we are in serious danger, and the exotic speaking engagements go to the more radical proponents of global warming.<\/p>\n<p>There is another aspect of this that I find extremely interesting. There is a website called <a href=\"http:\/\/surfacestations.org\/odd_sites.htm\">surfacestations.org<\/a>\u00a0that shows some of the locations of the temperature gauges the global warming people are using to monitor temperature changes.<\/p>\n<p>This is a sensor in Marysville, California.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.norcalblogs.com\/watts\/images\/Marysville_issues2.JPG\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This sensor is in\u00a0Hopkinsville, Kentucky.
