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.
 

Scientists become scientists because they find science more pleasurable than banking or finance. That does not mean that they are willing to risk their faculty or research position by taking an opposing view on a subject. A scientist can lose his job because he didn't get grants. He can lose grants because the reviewers didn't agree with his position on the subject. Scientists are human beings. They have mortgages. Their wives want nice things. Their kids need braces.


 

Oil money is not threatened by Global Warming policies. Oil companies make most of their donations on this topic to believers. Follow the actual money, not what the left wing claims.
