Here is what some climate scientists themselves have say:

David Legates, Delaware state climatologist: 
"There's a lot more money to be made by saying the world 
is coming to an end than to say that this is a bunch of hooey."

Reid Bryson: "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.'"

Legates tells students who are not global-warming true believers, 
"If you don't have tenure at a major research university, keep
your mouth shut."
