I'm just saying that those motivations will never reach the threshold of greed's influence, because history has taught us again and again that this is the nature of the human condition.


I think this is where we differ, I see those motivations go hand and hand with greed. Whether you are greedy for more money or more fame, its still greed.

Also, consider this: the majority of scientists, who believe in global warming, are the only scientists who won't get a cut of those billions. The ability to turn down money to stick to your principles is a sign of integrity, so to believe global warming a fallacy, you have to believe that each scientist who has proved their integrity in this matter has no integrity when it comes to science, and that only the scientists who doubt global warming and stand to gain from it monetarily are being loyal to science.


Remember, no scientist (except for a few idiots) says there is no global warming. The cause is the thing in question. I will not doubt that there are scientists that work for an oil company that says global warming is not caused by humans, and thier opinion is swayed by thier employers. But that still works for the other side. There are scientists that work for enviormental groups that can have thier opinion swayed as well. My arguement was that the cause is not yet known, so we shouldn't waste time finding a way to fix it until we know what to fix.
