I don't personally know any scientists who have tampered with data,
in order to make it fit their theories. But, I have heard of it being done..
And, when I ask scientist (that I know) what they think about the GW
consensus, or about it being 'Settled science',
most tell me aren't part of the consensus, and that nothing about GW is settled yet.

When I ask about money being a motivator behind someone doing GW studies..
They just roll their eyes and say, what do you think? A couple have
told me that just about anything having to do with GW prevention has a good chance of being funded..

But, that was about five years ago.. In today's climate (pun?) many scientists
will not speak their mind on the topic of GW, for fear they will end up without
a job.. Or cut off from funding for anything..
There are GW zealots who will try to get them fired, just for expressing an opinion..

IMHO, this isn't the way the system should work..

It's only a matter of time before questions about GW show up in job interviews..
