I've recently encountered the word biostitute applied to anyone with some science credentials taking money to downplay or deny global warming.
This seems unfair to biologists who, as far as I know, don't make up a majority of the global warming denier crowd.
If the person is or has been on a faculty somewhere, takes money from oil companies and denies or obfuscates global warming then I propose they are a proftitute.
Example: Professor Fred Singer
