Climate scientists aren't motivated by money

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Al Gore on Friday bashed the notion that climate scientists are manipulating data for financial gain, a charge levied by global warming skeptics,...

“This is an organized effort to attack the reputation of the scientific community as a whole, to attack their integrity, and to slander them with the lie that they are making up the science in order to make money,” Gore said in an online interview.

“These scientists don’t make a lot of money. They are comfortable, as they should be, but they don’t make a lot of money. That is not their motivation for doing what they do,” Gore added.

His comments came in a wide-ranging interview with Alex Bogusky, a prominent former advertising executive who is working with Gore on the former vice president’s Climate Reality Project.

Gore broadly attacked what he called an organized campaign by fossil fuel interests to sow doubt about climate change and climate scientists, calling it based on tobacco industry campaigns of the past about the health effects of smoking.

"Millions of people died unnecessarily. They were able to delay action — not by refuting the surgeon general, but by injecting enough doubt so that people would feel 'maybe this isn’t settled yet,'" Gore said. "Now the coal and oil companies are doing exactly the same thing."

The overwhelming view among scientists is that the planet is warming and human activities are a major cause.executive who is working with Gore on the former vice president’s Climate Reality Project.

He is worth a lot more now than when he left office. No one is probably getting richer off the green industry than Gore. Not one shred of proof has withstood peer review that GW is real.
