In science, there have always been the unscrupulous who manipulate their data for personal gain. Follow the money: Just one example from that article: Consider the case of Phil Jones, the director of the CRU and the man at the heart of climategate. According to one of the documents leaked from his center, between 2000 and 2006 Mr. Jones was the recipient (or co-recipient) of some $19 million worth of research grants, a sixfold increase over what he'd been awarded in the 1990s. The whole climate alarm thing is a windfall for the unscrupulous. Pardon me for seeing through the fraud. I hope you do soon as well.
