I sort of wonder the same thing at times ;-) However, that really implies a vast conspiracy. I have met a bunch of folks doing climate modeling and they are totally committed to the science. It was the scientists who first raised the warning, not politicians. However, let no crisis go to waste! You are correct that you will be attacked for not towing the line. That just seems to be our society today and not unique to climate research. I believe it will be another 20 years, which is just a blink of the eye in terms of climate time scales, before we really know what is going on. Just in case, I don't live on the coast anymore ;-)

At minimum you have agencies such as the EPA that use such tactics to increase their power
