Jan Jal is right, I think, about profits from fossil fuels - there are, I believe, quite a few rather large companies in the business.
People can be bought, and that includes some scientists. What makes you think that MOST climatologists can be, and have been, bought? Listen to the climatologists, not Al Gore, who is a politician, and, like those few politicians who claim there is no climate change, is perhaps more likely to be bought than the scientists.
So the argument boils down to: don't trust scientists.
Yeah, scientists can be wrong, but the whole methodology of science makes their effort one of trying very hard not to be wrong, as this has to do, not only with what is very often sincere dedication, but also with their reputations, research grants, etc. - which are peanuts compared to the profits of, say, the oil companies.
Why trust, exclusively it seems, that small percentage of scientists who claim climate change and global warming are either not happening or that it has nothing to do with human activity?
I think that the vast majority of those who deny the idea of climate change/global warming and the part that the human species has been playing in it are less informed than the scientists, are no more honest than they are, and are primarily disbelieving in it because they simply don't WANT to believe it, and are much less open to contrary evidence than the scientists are.

I'll take the scientific approach over this any time.

@Liumingke: Why do you suspect that such a large number of climatologists and other scientists are supporting some fake project of the 'global elites'? Do you imagine that climatologists themselves are part of the global elite? How are they able to 'take your money'? You need either to support the idea that all these climatologists are either dishonest or wrong, and give us some evidence that they are, or at least give a reason to suspect them of being so.
I don't, by the way, know of much evidence that can strongly either affirm or deny recent weather weirdness in Kunming as due largely to global warming, or any large-scale climate change. Be interested to see it if it exists.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Is there a certified foreign shrink?

You mean a western shrink, or Chinese shrink educated & certified in the West somewhere, right? There are shrinks in Hong Kong, if you want to go there, but I think they're probably a bit expensive. The ones I've had slight contact with weren't into hypnosis, tho, and I don't know where they were certified.

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.

As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.

Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.

Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
