This is an interesting point. I know nothing about climate science but do know a little about human behavior. I often had to figure out whether I thought a CEO was good at running a company or full of shit. So, the difficult part for me is figuring out what is true. One thing I often try to figure out who/what is incentivizing/motivating people to hold their viewpoint. While it's easy for people to see the oil/gas money, isn't the other side, and obviously, correct me if I’m wrong, also being incentivized/motivated by grants for academic studying and clean energy companies? Another thing I often look at is the track record of people, especially if they are making predictions about the future. I’ve found that it’s a good indicator of how they will act in the future.
