No, they have no motive. They aren't getting paid. They are simply telling the truth.
Climate Change is happening, worldwide -

Motive???? Really, that's a softball question if ever I heard one-----
M-O-N-E-Y
But they ARE getting paid---in federal grants, tenured professorships and notoriety---I'll reiterate:
Look at it this way----you just finished your post-doctoral work in climatology with $300,000 in debt and have a provisional faculty appointment at a major university and want to continue your research with a government grant and publish papers to continue your career.
In the current environment, what do you think your chances of getting a federal grant are when your research premise is anthropogenic climate change is a myth????
Your chances of getting tenure???
Your chances of having publications accepted????
Basically, unless you have tremendous courage of convictions and are willing to risk poverty, unemployment and professional ridicule, you end up touting the party line of "man-made global warming" while biting your tongue.
And this is why 90% of "climate change experts" "believe" in global warming caused by human activity, even though the vast majority know better. Only the mavericks, independently wealthy and recently retired will tell us the truth
And yes, climate change is happening worldwide, and has been for many millions of years. That time frame alone tells us that human activity has nothing to do with it.
