How a small group botched and manipulated climate science

Indeed. A small group of 'skeptic' scientists is botching and manipulating
data to serve their own agenda.

Scientists like Lindzen and Miscolszi and Lu and Soon and a few others
continue to publish papers with gross mistakes and manipulation of data and
formula's.
Their fraudulent data is supported and pupularized by a large number of
conservative think tanks amd fossil-fuel funded blogs, and media outlets
including wuwt.com, Sen Inhofe's web site and Fox News (and several similar
outlets abroad).

These media outlets spin stories (and spin the spin of each others stories)
with the sole purpose of creating 'doubt' about the scientific findings that
CO2 emissions (from fossil fuel sources mostly) cause climate change on our
planet, with potentially unprecedented consequences.
It is painfully clear that these media outlets bring these lies and
deception to the public simply because it tells a story that we like : that
scientists are lying, that AGW is a conspiracy and there is nothing wrong
with the way we live, and nothing wrong with pumping giga-tons of greenhouse
gasses into our atmosphere.

Several investigations have already estabished connections between these
scientists and money from fossil fuel industies such as Exxon Mobil and Koch
Industries.

This network from fraudulent scientists to public media outlets is known as
the "Denial Industry" and it's method of operation resemble those of the
movement (incidentally supported by the same 'think tanks') which denied the
relation between smoking and cancer (and serious other heath consequences).

The only think different between the two movement seems to be that the
Climate Change Denial Industry has found a 'viral' form on-line, with
thousands of 'supporters' who blindly replicate the deception that their
well-paid spin masters are feeding them via their media outlets.
