Wharfie, it's not just money. There is a level of prestige that comes with parroting the official line.

Publish more articles, and you get more reputation. You get to be the department chair. You get to rise in the ranks of academia.

You can even become president of Stanford University until some 18-year-old "punk" discovers that you've been faking your research:

And if the "hard sciences" like biology can suffer from shoddy work and fake data, then the "softer sciences" like climatology can also suffer from the same problems.
