call me skeptic but I think that the Moncktons, Carters, Akermans, Plimers, have made plenty of money out of thier position not unlike the Gores and Flanneries. Their motives may be construed as - "well 'm dead well before any of this really matters, my research is no longer relevant so I may as well make money out of it. I think the media proponents of AGW and the opposing side have served their respective causes as badly as each other.
