Here is my list. I can come up with a lot more possiblities for (against?) the pro-AGW group. I wonder what this all means, if anything at all?
Please feel free to add/delete and/or comment.
AGW opponents are:
-Paid by big oil/corporations, etc.
-Frustrated they don’t get any grant money
-Anti-environmentalists
AGW proponents are:
-Looking at establishing a New World Order
-Trying control the world’s population
-Striking out at capitalism/consumerism
-Trying to establish socialism
-Mathusian
-Perpetrating financial fraud
-Creating a useless carbon industry
-Worried about Peak Oil
-Need to have an enemy after the end of the Cold War
-Fighting against globalization
Okay, got a few new good ones:
Pro AGW:
-Promote nuclear energy
-Generate taxes
Anti-AGW:
-Journal peer review process is biased
Overall, I would discount scientists as being fraudulant. They may push their own specific theories hard (and these are usually not overarching climate theories but something specific to their area of expertise). Although I do feel that some scientists may become policized. This might be part of the accusation of biased peer review processes. It also might encompass sensationalizing the issue although those are really conspiracies per se.
Correction: “those aren’t really conspiracies…”
