Some of the top folks at CRU will very likely never practice science again, and the worst offenders will likely end up in jail.

I wish I shared your optimism. These days a group Nobel Prize is just as likely.

“I wish I shared your optimism. These days a group Nobel Prize is just as likely.”

The science prizes aren’t like the Peace Prize. ;-)

Seriously, I think the vast majority of scientists are honest and support the scientific method. They’re well aware that the entire credibility of science rests on it. Don’t forget the thousands of scientists who signed anti-CAGW petitions based strictly on the science.

When an a group of “scientists” subverts the scientific method to this extent, the scientific community will turn on them like a wolf pack that’s suddenly realized some of them are poodles. They have to, and it’ll be just about that ugly.
