Dishonest global warming reports are good, as long as they promote certain agenda, paper says

(NaturalNews) According to a pair of economists who have recently published a peer-reviewed paper in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics, lying about climate change in order to advance an extremist environmental agenda is a great idea.
As reported by Breitbart News, the authors -- Assistant Professors of Economics Fuhai Hong and Xiaojian Zhao -- accept it as a given that the media and the science establishment routinely exaggerate the issue of climate change. However, unlike the majority of their academic colleagues -- who flatly deny that any such problem exists -- they go a step further and actively endorse a policy of dishonesty as a way to force through desired policy objectives.
. . .
Why can't the truth be enough?
The paper should be good news for climate scientists who work at places like the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia and Penn State University; for years now, those institutions have strived to balance academic integrity with generous government grant funding in the face of increasingly obvious evidence that man-made global warming is just a hoax and that, really, they should probably be forced to find legitimate work, instead of continuing to live off taxpayer money.
"Now, thanks to the inspired sophistry of their new friends Assistant Professors of Economics Fuhai Hong and Xiaojian Zhao their various data manipulation, decline-hiding, FOI-breaching, scientific-method abusing shenanigans have been made to seem not evil or wrong but actively desirable for the good of mankind," wrote James Delingpole at Breitbart News.
Reaction to the paper has been sharp and critical.
