And you are the one lying. Every Scientific Society, every National Academia of Sciences, and every major University in the world states that AGW is real, and a clear and present danger Only morons like you try to pretend that there is some great international conspiracy to fool the rest of us. Don't forget the tinfoil for your little tin hats."i am one of the 97% of scientists that believe man is destroying our planet despite this cycle happening naturally. Now please excuse me while i go jump on my private jumbo jet that spews more co2 in 8 hours than you do all year, and be disingenuous to another group of useful idiots. Dont forget to sign the checks!"
If climate scientists are in it for the money, they’re doing it wrong
So, are there big bucks to be had in climate science? Since it doesn't have a lot of commercial appeal, most of the people working in the area, and the vast majority of those publishing the scientific literature, work in academic departments or at government agencies. Penn State, home of noted climatologists Richard Alley and Michael Mann, has a strong geosciences department and, conveniently, makes the department's salary information available. It's easy to check, and find that the average tenured professor earned about $120,000 last year, and a new hire a bit less than $70,000. That's a pretty healthy salary by many standards, but it's hardly a racket.
$70-120K is a lot better than $20K a year flipping burgers, which is what a lot of these people would be making if they weren't scamming.
Climategate I & II exposed the scam. The principal scientists were all manipulating and fabricating data to make it fit their screwed up computer modeling. Under the Obama Administration we found out that NOAA and NASA were doing the same damn thing. Also the UN Climate Committee.
If this AGW was real and significant then there would be no reason to lie about it, would it?
