I'm certain that the Senator talked to scientists but as can be seen from the many discussions on this forum there are scientists who espouse views that are different to those of other scientists. I have to admit that I probably haven't researched every link you have given to scientists and others who have the same view that you do but the ones I have checked or have been checked by others do seem to often come from a background that could be construed as having bias e.g. the oil industry. Please feel free to show me the error of this perception by pointing to an unbiased source as although my personal belief is at present different to your view I am always open to change if the facts are presented to me.
It could be said that those who say that global warming is being brought about by man's activity could also be bias but I'm not sure what the gain would be for them. If it's just publicity then the same argument works for both sides.
I also do understand the conflict of interest at a personal level as can be seen from my current signature picture. I never got more than 15 mpg out of it which I believe is more like12-13 for the US!
