The most unfortunate part of the whole climate fraud is the unbridgeable credibility gap for all scientists. Since this has revealed how feeble and frail humans posing as scientists have proven they are unreliable or colored by a priori conclusions already reached; even well researched and value neutral science will and should be suspect to all intelligent persons. This is a tragedy for public policy, science, environmental activists, and proves that government grants for research are a fertile ground for fraud. We see once again the perils of government choosing winners.
