Yes, follow the money. One one side you have a relatively small number of
academic researchers scrounging to secure academic salaries for themselves
and their staffs.

On the other side you have the full weight of all the oil/coal/gas
companies along with the fossil fuel producing countries such as Saudi
Arabia, Russia, China, Venezuela, UAE, Kuwait, etc. who stand to loose
many trillions of dollars if fossil fuel consumption dries up.

Anyone who studies the issue and claims with a straight face the money
leads to the climate researchers is bought and paid for.

Please tell me how I'm supposed to collect this alleged "bought and paid
for" money.

I could sure use the cash.

Ditto here. I disbelieve the alarmists a whole lot, so that should be
a large wad of cash!
