BillD,

So where were you when I was told that the reason to ignore any contrary facts was because they were being put out by "rich evil energy companies?"

It seems you had no idea that was silly, from your comments.

I object to the double standards here. If YOU want to think that it is fair to keep two sets of books on facts (one on those you agree wuithm that MUST be accepted uncritically, and one on those facts you choose to ignore because you don't like what they say), feel free- but that is NOT how science works.
