"but if he honestly thinks that they are intentionally committing fraud for love of money and prestige, he is deluded."
It's official, sprout, the non-researcher thinks that an American Physical Society of sixty-seven years is wrong simply 'because'. Without reading the emails of climategate, sprout leads us to the truth intrinsic to himself only.
Floods of money are directed to "the oil industry", often times by customers. Money is flooding scientific research by tax dollars aimed at manipulating the public. It's not like a carbon-credit market props itself up, right?
I read the emails that supposedly show fraud. There's nothing indicative that it's systemic.
Furthermore, the 'ClimateGate' emails only barely show fraud. No, I haven't read them all, but every source I saw pointed to the same exact 'trick' emails, and no one could show anything dirty in the rest.
