...does science suffer? If a person makes a profit from "Global Warming", can they be a credible source of information, or do they become a shill for 'Big Environment'?

Even if it's something small like running a blog site or reviewing products for corporations, can they still remain objective, and can they still evaluate data with an open mind?

Or does their business and the strive for profits prevent them from correctly evaluating the science?

Shouldn't those who profit from "Global Warming" be excluded from commenting on the subject? After all, it's clear that they will do what is needed to protect their profits and will naturally be biased in their views. Right?
 
Dr Spencer a critic of AGW has already quoted a prominent supporter of AGW as advocating overplaying the scenarios to achieve a state of panic and funding. Three of the AGW scientists have become critics after retiring from NASA. Too many AGW scientists are trying to suppress their critics with flimsy and panic inspiring "what if scenarios" and Ad hominum attacks. In my book that makes AGW a scam of the highest order and of course if the politicians can make a buck or two they re in.
 
It is worse than just people profiting. They recruit people and spend billions to find those that will study harmful effect of global warming. There are none that will do that who aren't biased in the first place. If they don't find harmful effects, they lose their job. It is sick how a political party has hijacked an entire area of science by spending tens of billions of dollars to get hacks in places of power and crusaders as scientists, at least that applies to most that work for the government "studying" global warming.
 
No, the point of good intentions has been surpassed. Other considerations may bypass the fundamental issues. (e.g. science, politics, economy, self interest, demand, conflict, harmony, ) or to put it simply any motivational value(internal or external) that conflicts with the fundamental concept. " It's hell to be human", and there is no such thing as a pristine ideology especially in the area of GW.
