You seem to think these people are holed up in their den with five computer screens surfing the Internet like you do all day.
These climate researchers generally know each other well, certainly be reputation, if not personally. They collaborate constantly on projects, they attend meetings you have never heard of. They discuss the research in intimate detail for hours over drinks at the end of conferences. They battle intellectually as roaming postdocs, faculty and PhD students challenge their work.
They volunteer their time as lead authors, and run extensive meetings with constant communication with confidence-authors, deliberating on every sentence they write on their report.
They literally spend the bulk of their lives working on their specialty, not for remuneration, or glory, but for the respect of their colleagues and the satisfaction of knowing their work and knowledge has advanced the science.
Yet somehow you think they deliberately misinterpret and misstate their colleagues work.
And more bizarrely, their colleagues, who’s work they supposedly misrepresent, stay silent.
