It gets you often even more money (from conservative, neoliberal thinktanks and industrial lobbies) if you agree on stepping forward in public and making mockery of every scientific conclusion, finding, series of data that are perceived as a threat to present interst of these financial sources. Even the most absurd argument today finds an echo if it only is repeated often enough - number of repetitions is probably even more important that reasonable convincing content (at leats that is what psychological experiments are indicating...) I have linked not only to news reports, but to orginal document over the last months and I think two years that did not only suggest but proove this.
Maybe the right job for you.
Make mockery of everything you don't like -and get paid for it!
