re: #150 Charles

Right. Yet you’ll gladly accept the word of groups who are funded to the tune of millions of dollars by energy industries trying to protect their profits. And you don’t see a bit of a disconnect there?

The idea that scientists are getting “rich” by promoting global warming is so ludicrous it doesn’t even deserve an answer.

I seriously think that this smear, and the others like it, are harming science education in this country.

Why work hard for years and years to become a scientist, when you’ll be dismissed as a money-grubbing socialist lunatic for simply reporting on scientific fact and attempting to warn of danger?

Thank god scientists mostly don’t give a crap what the lay public think of them; though if they gave more of a crap, they’d be better able to defend against transparent attacks on them. Then they’d be worse scientists.

Catch-22.
