Where is the real money?
This bizarre notion that scientists and people like Al Gore support global warming for money's sake is almost entirely without basis. You could find a lot more money from private industry working on refuting global warming than the other way around, the Petroleum, Coal, and Agriculture lobby and just about anyone with a right-wing agenda will throw money at you. The scientists of the world aligning themselves with something that nearly every industry in the world is dead-set against does not seem like a very good commercial strategy for the scientists.
