Occam's razor
Whats the most plausible hypothesis, climate scientists are risking their integrity and livelihood by manipulating data, maybe trying to get rich with carbon credits and green energy tech. companies. Or Industrialists are trying to preserve profits by denying the effect of the their massive CO2 emmisions? I mean these industries have a long history of spending profits to protect the community and environment before profits. cough cough johns manville/OMC.
Im not a climate scientist but tend to believe people whos job it is to study the climate over politicians, pundits and Exxon. Sure a minority of scientists disagree, thats just fine, the good thing about science is a consensus is usually met independent of politics and profit.
