clean coal a problem of logic

There are those who claim the earth is not growing warmer, ice packs melting, nor the oceans more acidic, nor that coal or fuel burning is polluting the earth, and by those I mean the GOP and the fossil fuel industry.   They dismiss it all, the data, the storms.  As are the new technologies - all fake, a burden, a joke.
Yet, most all the current GOP hopefuls want to spend, yes spend tax money, on "clean coal" and "carbon capture", Rick Perry is the champ on this saying he will spend the most.  Why?  If pollution is no problem, if CO2 is no problem, if the earth will not warm, why?  
Two reasons.  1) They know down deep the science is right.  Science is responsible for almost everything we have today, without it we would be wearing woven grass hats and butchering possums with sharp rocks.  2) The fossil fuel industry is hosing these guys into moving money from new conservation and energy technologies into their rat hole that coal can burn without pollution or all the shit it puts off can be captured.  Well, Jan. 2nd fossil fuel won a court delay of the new law requiring them to scrub a little more mercury and lead from utility smoke stacks in the next few years.  Why?  Why would they want to collect it all later, but not part of it now?  Why?
