It's the only answer they think they have to the argument that credible climate scientists have no financial incentive to falsify data, while the incredible climate scientists do, usually that they work for Big Oil (either directly or indirectly).

It's all greed-based mocking. The talking heads on FOX etc. aren't taking a dump on scientists in general and climatologists in particular just because. They are doing it because they have financial interests in doing so. I would bet that Roger Ailes, for example, owns substantial amounts of oil company stock.

Don't forget the greed based mocking done on outlets like CNBC.

This belief, "Climate scientists manipulated data to obtain funding for research" is the logic I most often encounter from "reasonable" conservatives who want to believe Global Warming is made up or overblown. This is some blunt ignorance. As if detailed data collected by numerous worldwide reputable organizations over the course of a century are part of a grand scheme to extract what amounts to pennies over time. Everything is a conspiracy, apparently.
