I’m not saying things are corrupt. Just how they are because of how incentives are structured. For instance, who would fund a climatologist that says climate change probably won’t be too bad based on his models? You’d be far better off trying to find the model that predicts disaster. That will turn heads and open wallets.


Or saying climate change is fake if it benefits your oil company right?

Why was your example the opposite. Who makes more money a scientist or exxon?
