I try to watch international news on this type of story and BBC America
showed the interview, I think about a week ago. I have attached a UK news
story on the press release over there. US media is not going to pick up this
sort of thing of course, but other countries are reporting it.In re-reading
the written article I now see they destroyed source data up to 150 years old.

I was not implying that private sector funding is perfect, that is not
involved here so not important. I was merely pointing out that there are
obvious problems with government funding when politics are involved. We should be
able to take science at face value but cannot as long as data is
manipulated to assure government favored results are reached. Though I remember
other things I distrusted released info on during the Bush years, I really
don't remember a big anti global warming push supported by fake science, as we
see here.
We need an independent scientific academy, not funded by political dollars,
but operating from a pool gathered from ALL public and private research
entities. Similar things exist in other countries and essentially apply a
seal of approval that the scientific method has been followed and the study is
legitimate. No conclusions drawn, merely sanctioning the study. Studies
that are not run through the academy would not carry the same degree of faith.
