Climate Tit for Tat

We're not sure what is driving global warming and it cannot be linked to extreme weather.

vs.

We know what's causing it and the alarm bells are ringing.

Which is FUD? I get why conservative folks want to deny climate change, they are concerned about the impact a carbon tax or the like would have on the economy-- and the energy business owners that fund their campaigns. What I don't get is how scientists profit by putting their ideas out there. They are simply sharing their view that the longer we wait to manage out of the ground carbon going in to the atmosphere, the worse the impact on Humanity. Where is the ulterior motive for the vast majority of scientists? I see this as a battle of fact based altruism vs moneyed interests. Who do you believe?
