Well that is quite a list of important-sounding lying douchebags.

I'm going to start a new think tank. We'll be called... "the American Scientific Society of Environmental Scholars". ASSES for short. We advocate burning tires. You should listen to us because our name sounds important and our URL ends with .org.

This is how we solve global warming (which exists in the first place because we said so):
