Financial Motivation for Climate Scientists?


When we hear the term “scientist” we want to believe that the person is intelligent, impartial, and altruistic. Sadly, they are still humans. Climate scientology was a dull, low paying, and thankless field until the sudden invention of a crisis. Global warming, err climate change, has delivered fame and fortune to climate scientists.  They now get grants, speaking fees, book deals, TV appearances, and profiles in national magazines.

 

Many say that pharmaceutical companies are not interested in finding cures as there is too much money in just “helping you live with the disease.” Why is global warming any different? How can we be so certain that climate scientists are altruists, while chemical and biological scientists are mean and greedy?
