If global warming is real, ExxonMobil still has a business -- and everyone who disagrees with these guys is out of a job. If you're just looking at who gets the largest fraction of their income from their beliefs about global warming, it's pretty easy to conclude that the climate scientists have the biggest incentive to lie.

Which illustrates why you shouldn't think that way! When an actor says that vaccines cause autism, the actor is not risking very much; when a doctor denies it, the doctor's livelihood is often at stake. But the doctors, in this case, are right.
