Headline and lead sentence are grossly misleading. There was no "fraud in science". The SCIENCE involved was honest and accurate. The FRAUD was the lies told by the eco-nutcases and their allies in the media and the bureaucracy, and the failure to make policy actually based on science.
That isn't entirely true. While I appreciate that the distortion was more on the politics end of reporting the science, there was real and significant scientific fraud. For instance, the case "showing" that egg shells thinned with DDT...where the birds were deprived of adequate calcium as well as exposed to DDT. That is scientific fraud. And there are others.
