>> 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.

Then how do you explain email-gate? How do you explain Michael Mann's refusal to make his data for the "Hockey Stick" available to other scientists who challenged his methodology?

How do you explain cherry-picking of data and the overt attempt to make the GWP seem smaller or non-existent? How do you explain the refusal to consider the heat-island effect? How do you explain major scientific journals, like Nature and Science, corrupting their peer review processes to avoid true peer review processes? How do you explain the absolute frauds of IPCC, year after year?

How do you explain the transition to politics in order to get past the requirement that SCIENCE carry its burden of proof? The wholesale distribution of propaganda to get political forces on board?

At some point persons of reasonable intellect start questioning the scientific substance of these tactics and recognize that it isn't about science.
