So is Klempner also fascinated by, say, the "global warming" scam? The "Gollin is an expert" scam?

No, apparently he is charmed, enchanted and captivated by what the cops on the old "Dragnet" show used to call "bunco artists." Although there surely are some cynics out there who might simply call it "Bear's next higher ed project research."
