The university industry is starved for cash, that's why they're such easy prey. So many professors bought and paid for. It's like how Huawei is subsidized because the Chinese government gets the real benefits from backdoors into other countries infrastructure.

So yeah, it makes sense that cash-starved professors sell their soul for money. All the incentives are there.

Who stands to profit from what amounts to a global mandate for austerity? We've got a handful of budding "green" industries, and they've barely gotten off of the ground. They certainly haven't had billions of dollars to splash around for the last 40 years.

When ExxonMobil's internal scientists discovered the potential impact of their industry, though, they covered that shit right up -- and they've got the billions to maintain their posture and pay off as many sympathetic/flexible academics as they can find.

You say all the incentives are there, but where's the actual money coming from?
