Quote by: Mr.Vicchio  It's not a conspiracy, it's about the money.
You're a research scientist, you need funding. You know that if you propose doing a study on how climatic change is natural, and that it's a benefit to man (let's just, for arguments sake say you really believe you have the ability to prove this) that you'll be rejected by the money men, while your good friend, just got his grant approved to show the debilitating effects of global warming on migrating butterfly larvae in central Peru. |
Except the "money men" are in large part themselves climatologists. That's the way science works--your success depends ultimately on peer review. It is true that you might need outside money for expensive stuff. But it's not like the anti-global warming crowd is underfunded! Indeed, if you were a relatively smart, skilled climatologist I'm sure you could make far more in apostasy than in the global warming camp, simply because of the law of supply and demand--low supply of non-warming climatologists suggests high prices from groups in whose interest it is that global warming fear dies down.
That's why it does indeed have to be a large conspiracy, across hundreds/thousands of scientists across all the big universities.
Have you ever worked in any scientific field? I'm just wondering, because it doesn't work how you seem to think it does.
