Thats all you have for a comeback? Funding is a factor in both sides.
Atmospheric scientist Reid Bryson said in a June, 2007 interview that "There is a lot of money to be made in this... If you want to be an eminent scientist you have to have a lot of grad students and a lot of grants. You can't get grants unless you say, 'Oh global warming, yes, yes, carbon dioxide.'"[13]
NASA's Roy Spencer says that climate scientists need for there to be problems to get more funding. Climatologist and IPCC contributor John Christy says of climate scientists, “We have a vested interest in creating panic because money will then flow to climate scientists.” University of London biogeographer Philip Stott says that “If the global warming virago collapses, there will be an awful lot of people out of jobs.”
French climatologist and author Marcel Leroux makes a claim similar to that of Lindzen's: "In the end, global warming is more and more taking on an aspect of manipulation, which really looks like a "scientific" deception, and of which the first victims are the climatologists who receive funding only when their work goes along with the IPCC."

Look, I am not some anti-environment guy in favor of big polluting companies. I really think we need to be cleaner and greener. I simply think that the global warming issue is being exaggerated and scare tactics are being used. I think we need cleaner cars and energy so we have less carcinogens in the air, not to avert some predicted crisis that is based on possibly flawed computer models. The Earth has naturally warmed and cooled as far back as we can go with the temperature data. There was a Roman warming, a Medieval warming, and the current warming we are in now. It has happened before and everything still turned out ok.
