global warming theory are paid off? It's the ones who are claiming that it's fake that are being paid-off by Exxon-Mobil!
WASHINGTON, DC, Jan. 3–A new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists offers the most comprehensive documentation to date of how ExxonMobil has adopted the tobacco industry's disinformation tactics, as well as some of the same organizations and personnel, to cloud the scientific understanding of climate change and delay action on the issue. According to the report, ExxonMobil has funneled nearly $16 million between 1998 and 2005 to a network of 43 advocacy organizations that seek to confuse the public on global warming science.
"ExxonMobil has manufactured uncertainty about the human causes of global warming just as tobacco companies denied their product caused lung cancer," said Alden Meyer, the Union of Concerned Scientists' Director of Strategy & Policy. "A modest but effective investment has allowed the oil giant to fuel doubt about global warming to delay government action just as Big Tobacco did for over 40 years."

None of the "Global Warming Hoax" papers have been peer-reviewed, which means they can make any crazy claim they want and no one has been allowed to call them on it.
edit to add: It is these "manmade global warming skeptics" who have chosen to ignore science in favor of politics, and as such SHOULD be de-certified.
