You don't say!

The public seem to think that Climate Scientists are a bunch of feather-bedding, lying bastards:

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of American Adults shows that 69% say it’s at least somewhat likely that some scientists have falsified research data in order to support their own theories and beliefs, including 40% who say this is Very Likely.

Now where, oh where might they have gotten that idea?

 Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,
   Once Tim's got a diagram here we'll send that either later today or
 first thing tomorrow.
   I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps
 to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from
 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline. Mike's series got the annual
 land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land
 N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999
 for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with
 data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.
   Thanks for the comments, Ray.

 Cheers
 Phil

Emphasis mine.  The poll continues:

Fifty-seven percent (57%) believe there is significant disagreement within the scientific community on global warming, up five points from late 2009.

Stupid non-scientists!  Oh, wait:



I now have a list of people whose papers I won't read anymore.

Is that similar to scientists have falsified research data in order to support their own theories and beliefs?  p > 0.95 ...
