I don’t mind if you don’t trust science when it comes to the current climate debate, but we shouldn’t over react and accuse all scientific work as suspect unless there is evidence, not just conjecture.
I see what you're saying. But it seems like you're so easily dismissing this incident as the act of a few scientists. This is much much bigger than you make it out to be. I agree that his could be casting an unfair shadow of doubt on the whole scientific community.

The big problem is as you point out, we should just judge the evidence. A world wide collusion of scientists to hide dissenting evidence makes this difficult to do.
