Specifically, how does your conspiracy theory work? Who are the conspirators? What is their goal? How do they intend to achieve it? Where is the money coming from, and where is it going? How? Consider the following when formulating your response:
1. Climate scientists are typically paid 40-80k, with senior researchers breaking six figures. Not a bad salary, but not as much as academics in other physical sciences and not nearly as much as their contemporaries in the private sector. If climate scientists are in it for the money they're doing it wrong.
2. Climate scientists don't *need* global warming. Their salary doesn't depend on the outcome of their research. Projects are funded without knowing the outcome. And if global warming weren't real scientists would simply study something else.
3. If anyone could disprove AGW they would win a Nobel prize.
4. How is it exactly that global warming funnels money to brown people? The carbon tax is a regressive tax, meaning if anything it will be tougher on low income families and developing nations.
5. If it's a left-wing anti-business conspiracy, why do all those businesses and high profile conservative economists and politicians I've listed [Exxon Mobil, ConocoPhillips, Chevron, BP, Shell, Statoil, Duke Energy, EDF Energy, Kodak, Fedex, Coca-Cola, Nike, LOreal, Wal-Mart, Dell, Apple, Microsoft, Google, General Electric, Walt Disney, ConAgra Foods, Wells Fargo, DuPont, Delta, Swiss Re, Munich Re, American Economic Association, World Coal Association, World Bank, IMF, Henry M. Paulson Jr. (a former Treasury secretary in the George W. Bush administration), Arthur B. Laffer (senior economic adviser to President Ronald Reagan), George Schultz (Ronald Reagans Secretary of State), N Gregory Mankiw (Harvard economist who was economic adviser to Mitt Romneys presidential campaign), Douglas Holtz-Eakin (chairman of Bushs Council of Economic Advisors and economic adviser to John McCains campaign), and of course 97%+ of climate scientists and 100% of the worlds national scientific organizations? ] support the carbon tax?
