15. What a fun game that anyone can play...

I've noted that the core beliefs of some are rooted more in being pro-industry, rather than being pro-environment.
The "window dressing" of being pro-environment is just a masquerade to cover up the true motivations.

As long as the message from the scientists could be cast as pro-industry, because they're the employers; the "environmentalists" are fine with the scientists and support them.

However, let the scientists stray from the pro-industry path; and the "environmentalists" want nothing to do with them.

Again, it was purely a "marriage of convenience". Environmental issues aren't the true motives. Economic motives are.
