Why would scientists be immune to money, power, popularity, and fame? Like you, I am disappointed but I understand how it happened.

Climate scientists had rarely felt any love until they were coopted into this farce. It gave them access to a world they had never known and it was profitable to follow the crowd. The only people that lost anything were the skeptics.

True, but by definition then they are not scientist. Since the time of the Greeks at least science has been the search for truth and understanding at the expense of all else. It would seem that many have forgotten this.
