Answer 2

the best of the best meteologists do not get paid by oil companies and don't even receive grant money to tell the public that the world will come to an end by climate change due to global warming. it isn't necessarily the truth that there will be climate change from it.

Answer 3

Prove that even one of them is.

It was released last night on CNN that the 10 scientists contributing to the latest alarmist report were paid 250000 each for their contribution to this report.

I have only heard 1 time that any oil company was even offering money for a dissenting opinion, it was earlier this year that Exxon offered 10000 for an opinion to rebut this report in advance.

It seems to me that being "chicken little" clearly pays more than working for the oil companies.

Answer 4

I'm not aware of any critics who are paid by the oil companies. Although I'm sure there *might* be some, I just have to shrug.
