Right back 'atcha.
Do you think "rich" people have a different genetic composition than the "workin'" man? Do you think they are motivated by entirely different things? If so, please reveal the dollar amount in which a person switches motivation for behavior.
The same thing that drives a person to go from a $20k salary to a $40k salary is at play when a person wants to go from $1M to $2M.

We know the facts of anthropogenic climate change - the driving force is our activities; mainly our burning of fossil fuels. To deny these basic facts is to deny reality.
Scientists are working hard, and are pursuing knowledge and data, so that we can better understand how the universe works.
Oil companies are mainly motivated by the massive profits they can make - Billions and Billions of dollars, and they know the facts about the results of their products. They have know the scientific facts about climate change, since at least since the 1970's.
But they have been lying to their shareholders, and to the public. They have been funding FUD and they have been attacking science - in order to be able to continue to gain Billions and Billions more. We have burned more oil since 1989, than we did up until that point.
You are right on this point: FOLLOW THE MONEY.
