From: JoeSpareBedroom on 10 Dec 2009 23:15 Interesting, but who told you to say "warmists"? That sort of sloganism is beyond your capabilities. Who invented the word today or during the past few days? AM radio Garlique or matress salesman? Who?

The mattress salespeople are going to make a bundle on global warming and they know it, they probably started the whole thing and Al Gore is just riding the wave. Maslow's hierarchy is one of the first theories taught to marketing students as a basis for understanding consumers' motives for action. Marketers have historically looked towards consumers' needs to define their actions in the market. If producers design products meeting consumer needs, consumers will more often choose those products over those of competitors. Whichever product better fulfills this void will be chosen more frequently, thus increasing sales. This makes the model relevant to Transpersonal business studies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs

I could have termed it, "CRU scientists involved in Climategate scandal sought Big Oil money", but that would have been too long. -- Tegger

Only a minor part of the agenda, but I expect they will accept an invitation to act as a strategic partner and will contribute to a studentship fund though under certain conditions." The other oil companies are mentioned later in the emails. I'd like to see anybody now dismiss the skeptics as being in the thrall of "Big Oil". -- Tegger |
