That's been a big problem with a lot of things. Toe the party line!

Like the worry inching towards panic to do with global warming, and
any scientists who do not say exactly what the gov't wants them to say
will lose their funding and be blocked.

We have a tiny, if any, affect on global warming. It's happened many
times in the past and the world has spent a lot more time without
polar ice caps than with them. The last one brought about stories
like Noah's Ark. About 4500 years ago the temperatures warmed up and
the ice caps melted and flooded much of the Coastal areas, where
a lot of people lived and their 'god' was punishing them for some
reason. Then, 3000 years later, things cooled down again and crops
that the Romans planted in England (like grapes for wine) would no
longer grow in most areas because it was now too cold.

An interesting book on that, both a good story about eco-terrorists
but also with a lot of scientific information about global warming
(backed up with the source scientific papers listed) is called
State of Fear by Michael Crichton.
