I agree this is about politics and money, not science. The leaked emails from the Climate Research Unit proved they were manipulating data and blocking the work

  To be more precise, fitting data to a model can be part of an inclusive definition of "manipulating data", and asking to delete emails discussing AR4 in order to avoid a Freedom of Information request definitely falls under "blocking the work of someone disagreeing", so I am not saying you are wrong. But if you mean fraudulently manipulating data, and having the ability to actually block or seriously and negatively affect the careers of everyone who disagreed? For that, there is no evidence in those emails. Eight different committees, from multiple countries and organizations, "investigated the allegations and published reports, finding no evidence of fraud or scientific misconduct." This includes the Department of Commerce, as requested by Senator Inhofe, who believes that global warming is "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people".
