The science behind global warming is dishonest. But it will sure make the economy grow faster.
I'm not certain what makes you say the science is dishonest. The politics of climate change could certainly be categorized as dishonest, but calling the science dishonest is brash. Have some used the science in a dishonest way? Certainly. In a sense it is similar to the Reinhart/Rogoff mess (pot, meet kettle). I always found the following link interesting: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/30/opinion/the-conversion-of-a-climate-change-skeptic.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
That is a very useful article and I thank you for pointing it out. I am thinking here about that whole U.N stuff and the email trail that cooked the numbers. That was dishonest. More scrutiny like the article you point out would take us a long way forward.
