Forgive me, but I couldn't help playing a little word substitution
with the cited text.....

"There are still holdouts within the 'scientific' community,
particularly those employed or funded by the [coal and oil] industry,
who claim there is not yet sufficient proof that [global climate
change] is dangerous, and then cite studies that justify their
position. This is the name of the game in modern-day 'science' where
egos and money are involved.

However, most studies currently appearing in the literature support
the idea that these [greenhouse gas emissions] are harmful. In such
cases of conflict, I always side with Mother Natu she is much wiser
than we will ever be!

Remember that most of this information about [carbon emissions] has
been known for many years, but [coal and oil interests] have succeeded
in keeping the issue out of the public eye - another example of caveat
emptor (let the buyer beware) in the [energy] industry. Now that you
are aware of it, the rest is up to you! Good luck, and good health!"

Cheers,
Paul

Couldn't offhand find the source Lenny, and I really don't know if is
factual or not as so with so many things written or broadcasted over the
net, radio or TV, but here is a support relationship between trans-fat and
hogs:

"According to Russell Jaffe, M.D., a noted medical researcher, hog farmers
will not feed trans- fats to their animals because the pigs will die if they
eat them. When Dr Jaffe contacted the US Department of Agriculture, he found
that it knew all about this but was not interested in the possible human
effects since this area was not under its jurisdiction. The US Food & Drug
Administration (FDA) hasn't done anything about it, either. The fact that
the food industry has succeeded in keeping a lid on public awareness of
these facts is testimony to the political power it wields in governmental
and scientific circles."
