Runciman claims that we live in a "conspiracist age" - promoting his own research project that way - he embezzles at the same time that after the break-down of communism - even in capitalist China - we live in an age of financial capitalism which is forcing to exploit more and more areas which have not been exploited before. Globally, we have 80 trillion US$ assets in the real economy versus 300 trillion US$ assets in the financial economy (virtual economy): http://www.visualcapitalist.com/74-trillion-global-economy-one-chart/

This means that there is an enormous pressure coming from the financial economy part of the total economy towards the real economy to development ever more profiting chances out of areas which had not been exploited until now.

If David Runciman is wondering that there are so many "conspiracist" moments in the field of the topic of climate change I am not wondering at all. He admits even that there is only small antisemitic drive or "Nazi stuff" in those "conspiracy theories".

For me, the reason is clear. "Just follow the money."

Runciman himself claims that the mindset of "Just follow the money." is a conspiracy theory in itself - protecting that way capitalism as the only, ultimate and holy truth - making it objective that way. And again Runciman embezzles that way that he has to live from something - and obviously the topic "climate change" is to be the runner to keep the economy going. Many investments were already made and 1.4 million British Pounds seems to be cheap to keep ideologically the myth of climate change running.

As they don't have any idea or knowledge of the topic they are researching in they have to deal with the topic only from the point of view with a theory of ideas which is not backed by any hard science. Of course, with the establishment in the back they can also ignore the logarithmic decreasing of the glashouse effect of CO². The unscientifical approach of as an mere "idea" discredit the whole climate change debate even further as the only political function of the COMPACT project is to regain and stabilize the superiority in public opinion.

As other "conspiracy theories" don't play that kind of role in the public arena the topic "climate change" IS THE topic. And this needs a ideological foundation.
