And on the flipside, what do conservative capitalists have to gain by denying it?
I would think that the answers to those two questions should tell anyone what they need to know to determine the truth of the matter.
Don't scientists get funding for doing climate research? If there is nothing to worry about then they won't get funding.
Sciences get funding NO MATTER WHAT. The fact that so many of them, in different fields, are showing that climate change is real, should be obvious that there is a real trend. In fact, a study that shows global warming ISN'T happening would probably make a scientist more famous, and give him more wealth. (which is why some people are pretending).
