Charlie, this is conspiracy to defraud the federal government (intentional falsificaiton of data and analysis by persons using federal research grants to do so, for the purpose of receiving more research grants) perpetrated by fraudulent emails across state and international borders, i.e., wire fraud. That brings in the civil racketeering statute (18 United States Code 1961, et seq). The universities, colleges and research institutes employing the conspirators have to consider that a requirement to refund the research grants they received for fraudulent climate change research.

Plus the victims of retaliation by the perpetrators can sue both the perps and the colleges, universities and institutes employing the perps for injury in victims’ trades and businesses. For treble damages plus, more importantly, reasonable attorney fees. 18 U.S.C. 1964(c).

The perps better lawyer up and shut up. Plus it will be delightful, when the lawsuits against the EPA’s regulation of CO2 emissions start, the perps claim 5th Amendment self-incrimination privileges upon being questioned as witnesses concerning the scientific validity of the EPA’s claims that CO2 is a dangerous pollutant

This is not zealotry. This is criminal fraud. And it’s the doomies’ tar baby. They can’t let go of it, but attempts to defend it will result in them being tarred with the crook label too.
