| Climate change scientists may be hiding data |

Among the most significant, in my opinion, is one that suggests that a given scientist should be removed from the community is they are skeptical about the current model:

Overall, there is not evidence that climate change is a hoax or even over-stated, but there is some evidence that data may be altered or withheld, which could damage the cause of genuine and important climate change research.
Excerpts:
Britain’s Climate Research Unit, University of East Anglia, suffered a data breach in recent days when a hacker apparently broke into their system and made away with thousands of emails and documents.
...
The emails contain an array of discussions including what appear to be concerted efforts to withhold data. Just as troubling is conversations that allude to potentially manipulating climate data to “hide the decline” of temperatures seen in the last decade.

If you think that Saiers is in the greenhouse skeptics camp, then, if we can find documentary evidence of this, we could go through official AGU channels to get him ousted.
and another that says, hey, if the data doesn’t fit the theory, toss the data:
The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment ... the data are surely wrong
and
the possibility that we might be going through a longer – 10 year – period of relatively stable temperatures beyond what you might expect from La Nina etc. ... I’ll maybe cut the last few points off the filtered curve before I give the talk again as that’s trending down
