Financially, which side has more vested interest in public opinion on GW?
I think the real question here is who has the most money to sway public opinion. Since what we are talking about is who can get out their message possibly drowning out the truth. The exploitation of fossil fuels is 7% of the world economy. The largest single industry in the world. Although medical is the largest industry in the United States at 13% of US GDP. AGW scientists do not have 1/10th of 1% of what the fossil fuel industry has. Furthermore, AGW scientists have nothing to gain except a world their children can live in. The industries that will gain from global warming are not industries that climatologist do research in.
