proftitute

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
