i wouldn't disagree about politics affecting science; i know it does. but i'm skeptical about what your are saying about only intepretations as opposed to results being reported. i don't read meteorology journals, so i don't know for sure, but most scientific journals require results to be reported. if they didn't, anyone could report anything. (obtaining data sets, however, might be a lot more difficult.)

The classic example of science corrupted by politics is the fiasco of Trofim Lysenko and his fabricated genetics to please Stalin.

The science historian Conway Zirkle wrote some excellent books about the corruption of science by politics.
