    What coffin exactly? There are multiple coffins around that some people like to conflate together.

    Another thing is that people who believed the earth is warming based on previous weaker evidence are not in any way better or more scientific than those more skeptical who required further evidence.

    Apples and oranges. Climate scientists have little to no shot at oil exploration/extraction money, but they do have a nice cash cow in the form of global warming.

    Note I am not saying it isn't getting warmer. I'm just pointing out why some climate scientists appear to have politicized it.
