Nothing has been "proved". Global warming is a hypothesis, not a fact.

The absence of global warming is also unproven: a counter-hypothesis.

What HAS been proved is that advocates of hypotheses are willing to manipulate and distort data to advance their proposition... but we already knew that.

When newspaper reporters are caught using fabricated stories, do we then conclude that "proves" ALL news is false? No.

On both sides of the Global Warming hypothesis are fine, reputable scientists, good usable data, and conscientious everyday people, trying to discern the truth. It's inflammatory and dangerous to conclude that all GW data is useless; we know that advocates on both sides of the debate are willing to bias the statistics, and we all know that statistics themselves

This is a legitimate and important issue; millions around the world are concerned for the welfare of their children, and their children's children.

To label those people as taken in by "hype", and legitimate data from either side as a "scam" is not helpful. You are right to point out the distorted data and those who helped propagate it.

Those persons and their acts do not invalidate the legitimate GW data from either side. Their unfortunate behavior does not end the GW debate. It is wrong to conclude that the acts of such persons "prove" anything about warming.
