OK, I have a question that I want a plain unbiased answer without bickering(knola)

question: on realscience.com, who pays the scientists? I mean I am sure that all of them are not blessed with a bottomless cash bucket in their basements, they work somewhere and have to get payed from someone.

they often get government grants, companies pay them for specific projects, but some scientists will only get payed when they discover something worth having

Yeah, but what I mean is, like Al Gore probably sent scientists out to find chilling global warming facts. If they DON"T find these facts, do you think that they get paid?

there are probably more scientists payed to try and find things disproving global warming as this would benefit the largest powers in the world today
