Global warming science will never be fixed unless there is a penalty or punishment for exagerrating it, distorting it.
Right now, the reward system for climate scientists is structured so that the more exagerration they apply, the more they are rewarded. The more they are objective and applying the actual data and the actual facts, the more they are punished in terms of losing grants, positions and reputations.
The carrot and stick is backwards in this field compared to the other sciences where the search for truth is the most important thing. In this field, the search for truth results in the researcher being ostracized.
Making sure that the Climategate Team pays a price for what they have done will go a long toward correcting this backward reward system (but a lot more will be required).
Great take on the perverse incentives of climate “science”
