One or two people making more money is by and far not any kind of evidence that more money is being made.

Out of all the points made, you pick this one......  First, you need to realize that those making the money right now are at an advantage with a deregulated energy sector... Next you need to understand that all the lobbying is for keeping restriction off of greenhouse gases, and this is BILLIONS of dollars that are going to the very few that will stand up and risk a planet for their pocket.... There is no funding and no companies making a trillion per year, trying to slow down the economy and build wind farms.... Oil has a big enough hand in government, they can use our military at the cost of the taxpayers....... Our government with an administration that is almost 100% oil men and women, do not fund research supporting the co2 climate change relationship, so where do you think this money is coming from if you think there is money in supporting global warming..... Lastly, there are so many scientists on-board with co2 and global warming, even if there were funding it would be spread so thin, it would not have the power corupt.... And please cite where you got info on people profiting on my side.........
