There are plenty of politicians in the field. Usually they control who gets paid.

Not only politicians, but anyone with a bias and lots of money can influence scientists. Scientists backed by big business are just as biased, like in the case of Big Tobacco years back telling us smoking was in no way bad for your health.
The best solution would be to have all science funded anonymously, so the scientists wouldn't know whether it was government or big business money funding their operations. That way, they can actually do their job without worrying about finding results which clash with the ideology of those who hired them, as I'm sure the real answer (as with most things in life) about climate change is somewhere between "humans have absolutely no impact on climate change" and "humans are the sole reason for global warming".
