Why do global warming sceptics claim that it was invented by governments to make money?

Question

I'm confused by this claim, as finding economical ways to reduce carbon emissions alone costs governments millions.

Where does this claim come from?

Answer 1

most of the think tanks that have been spreading misinformation such as the heartland institute will claim anything as long as it refutes global warming in some way. this is just one of of them along with scientists are all in a conspiracy and its all mad up by al gore.

edit

changes in the orbit of the earth called Milankovitch cycles do cause changes in climate but not over the time scales we are talking about we can also measure these and the earth should actuality be cooling very slowly.
