I think that the left is engaging in ignorant hysteria when they call David and Charles Koch evil. They should take a close look at George Soros - Soros is the chief source of funding for liberal organizations like the Open Society Foundation, MoveOn and the Tides Foundation.
Anyway, Charles gave an interview recently and had this to say about Anthropogenic Global Warming:
Q: Are you worried about climate change?
A: Well, I mean I believe it’s been warming some. There’s a big debate on that, because it depends on whether you use satellite measurements, balloon, or you use ground ones that have been adjusted. But there has been warming. The CO2 goes up, the CO2 has probably contributed to that. But they say it’s going to be catastrophic. There is no evidence to that. They have these models that show it, but the models don’t work … To be scientific, it has to be testable and refutable. And so I mean, it has elements of science in it, and then of conjecture, ideology and politics. So do we want to create a catastrophe today in the economy because of some speculation based on models that don’t work? Those are my questions. But believe me, I spent my whole life studying science and the philosophy of science, and our whole company is committed to science. We have all sorts of scientific developments. But I want it to be real science, not politicized science.
More at The Washington Post - great interview. The guy is wicked smart.
