That's the way I tend to look at it..what reason would environmentalists and scientists possibly have, to make this all up? Is there some sort of corporate scientific/ecological elite who stands to gain millions if the oil and gas industry starts becoming less prominent?
I don't think so..
On the other hand there is obviously some very wealthy and influential people who stand to lose a lot of power and wealth, if the claims of environmentalists are taken seriously at all.
