Corrupt science for a political or a personal agenda? Shake people’s faith that any scientific study is objective? Why not? Who will complain? Surely not the peer reviewers. We selected them carefully − they really are our peers, in all possible senses.
The mechanisms of science are designed to detect error, not fraud. We have a conspiracy to obtain government and foundation money by using fabricated data transmitted by mail and e-mail − that is, mail and wire fraud. Now is the time for a congressional investigation. Now is the time for subpoenas, grand juries, and federal agents seizing records before more are “lost.”
A politically correct crime is still a crime. Corrupting science is a terrible crime. We must restore the integrity of science itself.

Interesting read. Thanks for posting it.
Good luck with that.
True science is not corrupt. When these individuals no longer applied the true scientific method and protocol they ceased to be scientiests and crossed the line and became POLITICAL ACTIVISTS.
This article is pointing out that it’s not just climate “science,” but ALL our publically/corporate funded science that has been compromised. We’re being deluged with drug advertisements daily but how good is the research in that rich field? How compromised are these “scientists”? How much is this costing us all?
It’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Good point. I wonder how many good studies have been suppressed, that showed politically incorrect results (e.g. links between abortion and breast cancer).
But wait, it gets worse. Our California senator wants the hackers who uncovered the conspiracy to be prosecuted! See http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/70249-boxer-hacked-climategate-emails-may-face-criminal-probe That is, jail the whistleblowers, ignore the conspirators.
