The problem is less about the science than it is that the researches were clearly biased and pursuing specific results. The fact that others have claimed to reproduce the results does not lend credibility as long as they fail to acknowledge their bias and operate in a fully transparent way.
Whether you agree or disagree with the question of human affected climate change you really can't deny the fact that these folks are heavily biased toward a specific outcome for their research.
I'm sure that by "these folks" you are including AGW deniers, right? Or are there no scientists on that side?
You seem to be awfully confused as to what science is and isn't. A hypothesis (you know, what the experiment is testing) isn't a bias, and if the hypothesis doesn't test out, then the results are against it whether the scientists involved are believers in AGW, the Good Fairy, a fourth branch of US government containing Dick Cheney, or not. If the research was biased and changed the outcome, it's not science. I'm not sure you can have it both ways.
