Is that your general method of evaluating the worth of a scientific

I suppose you think that if the work was funded by an oil company (not

be
worthless. There are many kinds of bias in science. It's not just
limited to funding source. On the other hand, do you suppose that a
good
and honest scientist could give an honest report of his/her findings,
even
if funded by such sources?

They wouldn't be funded for very long.

Doesn't this same logic apply to scientists that promote the established
belief in AGW for both publishing and for funding? That if they do not
find in favor of the model that they will not be published or funded.
