9,135 out of 9,136 agree-

sounds like those old TV ads - 9 out of 10 dentists - BUT, I digress. Only 1 scientist out of the 9,136 disagrees that climate change is happening. A Russian, he's basically supporting Russian coal, oil and other industries. I expect Fox is negotiating as we read to hire him as their go-to guy on weather analysis and learning how to pronounce his name.

He states right at the beginning of his paper that a switch away from CO2 emitting sources would collapse the Russian economy.

I have been thinking that it is probably in the best interests of Canada and Russia to let global warming continue anyway. Between their hydrocarbon resources and their geographic location. It comes to a question of how much capital is invested in coastline. Most of the rest of the developed world, it will be an unmitigated disaster.
