Take this post for what it is...OK. So do you think they are actually lying about the importance of methane to AGW? Do they just say what they are paid to say?
I'm genuinely curious. Because I've heard that a LOT. Which I always interpret as being a confession on the part of the person who said it that THEY THEMSELVES lie for money, so they assume EVERYONE LIES FOR MONEY.
Is that what this is about?
I worked on Wall Street for 16 years and 99% of what everyone from the Board of Directors down to department managers did was so that they would look good, despite their constant lying.
I am a Modern Orthodox Jew and would say there are at least 800 families in my Town and about 1/4 of the hundreds of families I am acquainted with have at least one person working in academia or are in positions to report entity status...
To secure their pay checks and benefits they have to endure their superiors sending back their status reports and amending data until it fits the agenda.
So yes, scientists are working within the parameters or population of what they are instructed and they are personally not happy with the situation.
