Eddie,
What do you suppose would motivate the vast majority of the world's climate scientists to engage in a conspiracy such as the one you describe?
It is not the "vast majority of the world's climate scientists" that are doing this. As we can now read in the stolen emails, it's a core of just a few dozen that are doing this and pressuring others to fall in line, or to use the media to ridicule them.
There are over 31,000 American Scientist, with over 9,000 of them with PHD's that disagree with Global Warming.

As to why they have lied about this, I can only guess that it's a combination of really "wanting" to believe it regardless of what the evidence was, the prestige of being the worlds experts, and of course, the money.
I sometimes wonder if Al Gore really believes what he's saying, or if it's just his way of making money and being a big shot. He comes across as a die hard believer, but then he's making tens of millions of dollars off of it, and is one of the worlds biggest personal poluters. While there might be others, he stands out as the biggest hypocrite out there. And then there is his refusal to debate anybody on the facts that he claims are proven. It would be real easy to win every debate if this was true and further his cause. So why doesn't he debate anybody?
His movie has nine major lies in it according to British Courts, and they have to be explained before the school children watch his movie.
Just this week, he lied about the emails in saying that they are all ten years old, and that there isn't anything in them that discredits the science of global warming. The most recent of those emails are just a month old.
Last week, my 12 yeard old daughter had to write a paper on why global warming is bad and what we can do to stop it. My wife and I spent the week before looking all of this up. There is an amazing amount of information out there. Some is wacky, but if you go to the governement sites, the university sites and the scientific sites, you'll find that it's all documented and refrenced. We read the articles and then did searches for those people listed and who conducted the study. It's truly amazing how easy it is to find out, and how rediculous all the claims are.
She wrote about the global warming hoax and how the science is so corrupted that nobody actually knows what is going on with the planet. She backed up everthing with refrences and footnotes. The teacher is a believer, but was forced to give our daughter a 103 because she received extra credit on top of her grade. We've gone to the Super Intendent before, and were ready to go again, but in the end, we didn't have to.
Just for fun, if you really want to learn about all of this, do some searches for yourself. I won't influence you on where to look, just start reading and look for references. You'll notice that those pushing global warming tend to rely on personal attacks, scare mongering and broad claims. While that's been a very effective method to get your point of view across, it's no longer as effective as it used to be. Especially now that we know from the emails, that's exactly how they were able to silence the critics in the scientific comunity.
