So you suspect that scientists, who are experts in the field of climatology, whose reputations are based on the accuracy of their data and conclusions have more motive to collude and lie about global warming than politicians who get re-elected based on how much money they can raise for campaigning and are heavily lobbied by polluting industries who fear increased costs of environmental controls?

Don't assume all scientists are motivated by the selfless desire to learn even if the results disprove their own biases. I'd wager the majority don't fit that noble, Disney-esque description.

Environmentalism is a business. A very, very big one. Therefore, there are business interests at heart, no different than those of Exxon or Shell.
