Hackers claim confidential mails from scientists show that climate change data has been forged. Former minister MP Peter Lilley joined RT to discuss the scandal dubbed Climategate.
“A group of scientists are so loyal to each other that they’re determined to agree with each other even more than they are determined to agree with the facts. So if the facts no longer correspond with their theories, they try and change the facts rather than their theories. And the people who benefit from it are the scientists themselves: they feel morally superior leading a crusade apparently to save the world and they get large grants from the government,” Lilley said.

No disrespect intended but it is a sad day for my country when I have to get factual news from Russia. Our media seems to have been co-opted by corpo-government Oligarchs, who are hell-bent on destroying our way of life.
Whenever a scientist's income is beholding to government funds you can be sure that the data will always be found to support more studies. And more studies will eventually conclude that the dangers suggested earlier are actually coming true. Can you imagine a scientist concluding that there is no need to study something in their field any longer because the data just doesn't support it?
