No need to be deliberately obtuse--there are many people in industry and government who stand to benefit from carbon trading. There are also many scientists who research climate change. The two groups do not have to be intimately connected for them to benefit from each other.

Were all the loan originators at Countrywide part of a conspiracy to sell bad loans, or were they just "following the money"? Why would grant-seeking scientists be immune to the same incentives?

The OP has said that he doesn't trust scientists.

So, is he saying that scientists are part of a conspiracy.

And before calling others obtuses, read what the OP has said.
