If Exxon could easily hire climate scientists to predict global warming 50 years ago how come nobody else could? Especially scientists working at public universities and publicly funded institutes? Were they all incompetent or lazy?

It's not necessarily about the scientists it's about having the voice (or paying for it) to push it in the public or out of the public.

You can be right as much as you want but if you'll get big money after you because of where your right about some single voices at best won't get heard.

This isn't the own you think it is. The research they did was important to them as an industry & their future as a global player worldwide. It was done for selfish reasons, not altruistic ones. The fact that they came away with good data is just proof they needed to know what was coming for their own survival. AND to discredit it once decades of legit. research on their end confirmed their worst fears,

You are not making the point you think they are. Embarrassing....

It's almost as if Exxon had vested interest in the topic had billions to pay scientists in secret?
