the most important story is about the actual science as people now do not trust it. AIU your statement, you mean "the actual science [of climate change]". If so, your statement is incorrect. The unethical actions of these scientists has brought into disrepute not just the study of climate change, but also of biology and pharma research, alternative energy, etc. In the end, not only does climate change research get damned, but so do all other areas in which we're relying on the ethics of the researchers. That's a superset of the climate research, and thus a much larger and important problem.
