We have theoretical scientist who hang out at the universities and write paper and books that purely serve their own interests, for which they get paid.

Then we have practical scientists that actually put science to work. They are paid for the goods and services they produce.

The practical scientist put food on the table.

The theoretical scientists steal this food.

Atmospheric Chemist Roger L. Tanner: “I have very little in common with the philosophy of the Heartland Institute and other ‘free-market fanatics,’ and I consider myself a progressive Democrat. Nevertheless, we scientists should know better than to propound scientific truth by consensus and to excoriate skeptics with purple prose.”

This is one of the most honest statements I have read in a long time. It gives me hope that our society is not lost.
