If Gavin told the truth and announced that the climate isn’t warming, he would put himself and thousands of other people out of work.
Climate scientists have an inherent, fundamental conflict of interest, which makes anything they say completely meaningless. Their work is peer-reviewed by others who share the identical conflict of interest.
If Gavin was being paid to produce global cooling, he would produce global cooling. NSIDC would talk about the Antarctic instead of the Arctic.
The goal of #ExxonKnew is to make sure that government stays in control of the funding, thus maintaining the scientists’ conflict of interest, and the agenda.
