Global Warming, er Climate Change is a National Security Threat


Quote:This whole idea that scientist are just out for the money doesn't make any sense. If money was their motivation, they would have chosen a more lucrative profession, like banking or finance. No one becomes a scientist to make money.


If you want to follow the money, don't follow that tiny trickle of scientific research grants and ignore the gushing fountains of money in the fossil fuel industry. Compare one week of revenues at Exxon to all the climate change related research grants in the entire world. If you want to follow the money, follow the really big money.


Very well put. I can't agree with you more.


Here's what I find fascinating: we are to ignore science because the scientists get grants and work at universities making a pittance when compared to the amount of money the scientists who are hired by a multi billion dollar oil industry. Yet those oil industry scientists are not questioned in regards to their motivations.


If you are to say follow the money, you should follow all the money. Not just the money that validates your preconceived view.
