Why the global warming "science"?

A major reason is moolah. Government, or more accurately taxpayer, funding for grant funds.
OpinionJournal - Extra: "But there is a more sinister side to this feeding frenzy. Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their grant funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves libeled as industry stooges, scientific hacks or worse. Consequently, lies about climate change gain credence even when they fly in the face of the science that supposedly is their basis."
