Uh, what? The recently leaked emails specifically showed climate scientists attempting to work together to suppress dissent, e.g., urging that people in the group stop submitting to a particular journal because it published "skeptical" studies.

I think you may be misconstruing what many skeptics believe. No skeptics believe there is a vast conspiracy of scientists working together to pull a fast one on the public even though they know that global warming does not exist. Instead, some skeptics believe a small culture of well meaning scientists have fallen victim to a host of well-known and self-reinforcing biases that make their analysis, and especially their extrapolations, suspect.
