(if there is no problem, obviously there is no $$ to be made by solving it)

it's kinda like expecting a priest to admit in church that he isn't 100% sure god exists...

would you ever expect to see a speaker in church discuss how it's possible that god might not be real? Why would you expect a "scientific" journal whose only purpose is to discuss global warming, to publish papers disproving it?
It's very cute that you don't understand how Science works, but it leaves you kind of in the dark in discussions like this.

You see, comparing scientists to priests just illustrates that point beautifully.

There are all sorts of areas of climatology that people study and publish actual, real papers about that their peers then review. Much of the subject matter doesn't address man made global warming at all. Rather it's discussions about how systems work. Think of it like Astronomy. Most people aren't trying to explain why the universe is expanding. Lots of material is about moons, and stars and black holes and all kinds of other features of space beyond Earth. The same is true of climatology. Suggesting that a climatologist can ONLY write papers about man made climate change or they will otherwise be out of a job is absurd.

Finally, scientists love to prove established theories wrong. If anybody could concretely disprove man made climate change, they would be a hero in the community. Their works and findings would be published far and wide making them a scientific rock star! Alas, not only has nobody disproved it, but all but 1 were in support across the papers published specifically dealing with man made climate change over the last year.
