That's just a load of unproven, speculative BS. It's just one of the many standard smears that big green uses to try to discredit those who disagree with them. There is no "playbook" and this is nothing like the past tobacco smoking debates.
Here is a pretty concise piece on how the whole "big green" smear machine works:
The Merchants of Smear

?No one has ever offered an iota of evidence? that oil interests paid skeptical researchers to change their science to fit industry views, ?despite legions of people repeating the claim,? Cook notes. ?Never has so much ? the very survival of the global warming issue ? depended on so little ? a paper-thin accusation from people having hugely troubling credibility issues of their own.? The tactic is intended to marginalize manmade global warming skeptics. But the larger problem is mainstream media malfeasance: reporters never question ?climate crisis? dogmas ? or allegations that ?climate denier? scientists are willing to fabricate studies questioning ?settled science? for a few grand in illicit industry money.

I know you won't read it and even if you do you will just write it off as being written by some "right wing" nut-job in the employ of "big oil". Typical I guess for a left wing nut-job in the employ of big green.

More BS. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
All of this nonsense based solely on the false assumption that CO2 can warm the atmosphere uncontrollably. After "big green" has destroyed civilization as we know it I wonder if you guys will be around for the inevitable admission that CO2 was not the problem.
