You and yours have been making that accusation for years now. And if you've got the intellectual flexibility to believe thousands of climate scientists from hundreds of different nations and hundreds of different disciplines have all manage to secretly agree to take the risk of this career-ending conspiracy in order to continue to get filthy rich from grant money (Note to self: figure out how someone gets rich off research grants without spending the grant to do the research), then more power to you.
What I'm wondering, though, is how, after all these years and all you deniers screaming that charge at the top of your lungs, NO evidence of actual fraud has ever appeared and NO CONSPIRING CLIMATE SCIENTIST HAS EVER COME FORWARD AND CONFESSED.
That is one TIGHT conspiracy.
The risk to careers is to the priest who questions the dogma of the church, A kid out of school with a shiny new PhD. goes and starts doing actual science - what is the result? They are blackballed and will NEVER get a job with any university.

Just when you think things can't sink any lower, the National Academy of Sciences has now published a list compiled by a non-academic weblogger that attempts to rank scientists by expertise, credibility and (oh!) belief in the consensus position on global warming.
It is a blacklist. It's also hilariously wrong. As
Roger Pielke Jr. notes on his weblog, his father, who firmly believes in man's impact on the climate, is rated as a skeptic, while James Hansen, who has repeatedly criticized the IPCC consensus (albeit for being too conservative) is mentioned as a supporter of the IPCC.}

Now your church has undoubtedly printed up yellow badges for heretics who dare practice science rather than blindly repeat the dogma of the AGW church but has thus far failed to find a way to enforce.
Nonetheless, the church publishes a black list to ensure those engaging in science are denied employment.
You church is no different than the Catholics of the 1300's - you have power and you are rotten to the core - corruption defines your church. Honest science is crushed instantly and the perpetrators dealt with harshly. Conversely, open liars such as Michael Mann, even when exposed through leaked emails, are promoted by the church.
