People can make a conscious decision to reject money that is not honorably earned. Many people can do it, it is not uncommon. Scientists are generally pretty ethical as they understand its importance and are more interested in their science than they are in making extra money and are very moral.

Guys like Einstein, Niels Bohr, Alfred North Whitehead, Bertrand Russell and on and on cared little about money. You can read their biographies for days and never hear a word about money. Their lives revolved around understanding our existence, the mind of God as Einstein once said. And the life of the highest ethical standard was always their first priority. They were all first class humanitarians.

People who reject science and reason and humanity cannot be taken seriously. Science and reason were the big discoveries of the human species. Science is what changed us from a hunter gatherer nomadic animal, to a species that figured out relativity, the age of the universe and built rockets that went to the moon.The age of Enlightenment was born out of science and reason.

Science and reason is what gave us ethics and democracy and a life today more comfortable and longer than any people ever lived in the history of the human species.

People who do not respect science and reason, and who tolerate pathological lying, for example Trump, cannot be taken seriously.

Not t if you realize the people who matter, so called climate scientists, all stand to gain from positive findings. They are not independent. How often does a priest suddenly decide he doesn't believe? Probably about the same frequency as Warmists suddenly choosing to pursue the truth? Seldom. People cannot be objective when their survival depends on being committed to a finding.
