Study
"The results of the study we funded are back."
"Wonderful! There will finally be an independent assessment of the evidence and the swindle of global warming will be debunked at last."
"Actually, our study shows a steady increase in surface temperatures during the twentieth century, at a rate accelerating in the last few decades."
"Why should we take this study at face value? It was funded by a group with vested political and economic interests in the issue!"

"Saving? Of course!"
