Sure, I also find it quite likely that powerful fossil fuel
companies are lobbying or using even dirtier tricks to discredit
AGW theory. On the other hand, this says nothing about the truth

Doesn't it? If it weren't true, then dirty tricks wouldn't be
needed to discredit it, would they? It could be discredited like
the flat earth, creationism, and cigarettes-are-good-for-you
theories.
If that was true, the world would be free from religious superstition
So do you classify religion as a conspiracy? Do you think clergy
are really all atheists and are just conspiring to fool others?
I subscribe Bruno's and Kim's replies.
But this is besides the point here. You claimed that, if AGW was
false, then oil companies would only need to falsify the models to
affect political change. If that were true, then it wouldn't be the
case that the majority of the world population is religious, because
most religious claims are trivially and publicly falsified by the
many fields of modern science, from cosmology to archeology.
Only the fairy tales. Then with computationalism, we know (or should
know) that for theology *and* science, we might need to backtrack 1500
years to get the right overall conception of reality. "modern science"
is still Aristotelian for the fundamentals, and both comp and QM
question this basic assumption. The "God" of the scientists might be
the God of Plato, which is basically the notion of transcendental truth.

and electing a president that claims to believe in a book of old
desert myths would be unthinkable.
