These scientists score much larger amounts of money by proclaiming this. The more they scare, they more they get...so they make outlandish claims. There isnt a "vast majority" btw, just another lie, like the one that all who disagree are in pay by oil companies.

Scientists generally do not profit from the work. They are usually employed by universities or government bodies, which are not profit-making organisations.
The "other" side, however, does have a large motivation to deny climate change - politicians don't want to pass laws that restrict companies' actions; oil and energy companies don't want to see a switch to less profitable alternatives; all companies don';t want to have to change their processes at all since change costs money.
If money is the argument you want to use, I would say that the deny-global-warming camp has the biggest motivation to lie.
