Unlike Al Gore and his fearmongering?
Personally, I think Al Gore's a pretty smart guy and if he just wanted to get rich, there are easier ways...
But sure, lets agree that both sides have something to gain and move on. This silliness about the "Big Green" lobby is distracting from a meaningful discussion about global warming and how seriously to take it.
Al Gore married into his money. He's motivated by an urge to remain in the public eye and wield political power despite being rejected by the voters.
I disagree with this. The main thrust against any refutation of human caused global warming is always that the author is in the paid service of an oil company, lobby group. You cannot have it both ways. You can't allow people to use that argument to brand people who refute or discount human-caused global warming as paid skeptics, and then brush it aside when the argument is used in reverse.
This is a silly argument. My whole point was that we should move beyond questioning motives.
for his theoretical model on climate change, he's on the right path to win his second nobel prize ... in mathematics, no less.
