“Confounding or contradictory data could prove deadly to the fate of a funding request,” Mann continued. “Cooking the numbers, suppressing nonconforming evidence and misleading prospective donors are minor transgressions compared to the alternative of tapped-out funding.”

I’m a scientist and I can tell you that what Mann describes in the above paragraph constitutes FRAUD. I know of scientists who have been FIRED from their jobs for such behavior. Its very enlightening to see that the warmists think of it as normal.

You're absolutely right. This is an admission of fraud packaged as moral relativity: Getting what I think I want and need is the supreme importance and justifies lying about data, hiding data, and lying to sources of funding to get it.
