No, that’s what politicians and other less educated folks do. Scientists (real ones, that is) are objective and form opinions based on “objective reality” (what a concept).
Many of the global warming types seem to be more of the “I don’t let those pesky facts interfere with my beautiful theories” school. ;-)
As Micheal Crichton pointed out in his excellent book “State of Fear”, scientific funding ought to be blind - in other words scientists should have no idea who’s funding their research. We’re a long ways from that today.
Scientists do not do this...politicians do.
