Only in the minds of alarmist searching for authority or funding.
So are you claiming that the 197 world governments that have signed the Paris Accord do it to gain authority? Do you also claim that all the world leading scientific societies acknowledge that acknowledge the urgent need for action are corrupt?
That can't you see how ridiculous you claims are especially. Also that even prestigious universities like Harvard that get very little of their funding from climate change research acknowledge the urgent need for action.
"Climate change is a global threat that requires an urgent response. The Harvard community is taking a multi-faceted approach to addressing and reversing the effects of this crisis."
Climate Crisis
The Harvard community has come together to find solutions to the crisis of our time: climate change.

That at the same time you have not provided any sources for your extremely serious accusations against the scientific community.
Also Trump and Republican climate deniers in Congress would of course have stopped funding then they there in charge if they had found any wrong doings in the scientific work. There the result was instead that federal agencies continued to acknowledge the urgent need for action because the evidence was so overwhelming.
"The impacts of climate change are already being felt in communities across the country. More frequent and intense extreme weather and climate-related events, as well as changes in average climate conditions, are expected to continue to damage infrastructure, ecosystems, and social systems that provide essential benefits to communities. Future climate change is expected to further disrupt many areas of life, exacerbating existing challenges to prosperity posed by aging and deteriorating infrastructure, stressed ecosystems, and economic inequality. Impacts within and across regions will not be distributed equally. People who are already vulnerable, including lower-income and other marginalized communities, have lower capacity to prepare for and cope with extreme weather and climate-related events and are expected to experience greater impacts. Prioritizing adaptation actions for the most vulnerable populations would contribute to a more equitable future within and across communities. Global action to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions can substantially reduce climate-related risks and increase opportunities for these populations in the longer term."
